A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisply bracketed serifs. The verticals read firm and dark while horizontals and joins thin sharply, creating a distinctly chiseled rhythm. Curves are generous but controlled, with teardrop-like and wedge terminals appearing throughout, and the overall spacing feels even and measured for display use. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and sturdy stems that emphasize the contrast.
Well suited for headlines, magazine display typography, and book-cover titling where sharp serifs and contrast can do the heavy lifting. It also fits brand marks and packaging that want a traditional, premium voice, and poster work that benefits from bold vertical rhythm and crisp detailing.
The font conveys an editorial, classical tone—confident and polished, with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its sharp serifs and tapered joins add a sense of authority and ceremony, while the flared terminals give it a crafted, historical flavor rather than a purely mechanical one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and carved, flared finishing, balancing tradition with a showier display presence. It prioritizes elegant impact, using sharp terminals and structured proportions to read as authoritative and refined in larger settings.
In the sample text the strong contrast and pointed detailing hold up best at larger sizes, where the thin strokes and internal shaping remain clear. Numerals and capitals carry a stately presence, with rounded figures (like 0, 8, 9) showing pronounced thick–thin modulation that reinforces the font’s formal character.
