A compact, display-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly sculpted, flared feel at stroke endings. Serifs read as sharp wedges rather than slabs, and many joins are softly bracketed, giving the forms a carved, high-contrast rhythm. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with crisp horizontals and tapered diagonals; round letters show a noticeable stress that reinforces the dramatic contrast. Lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height and tight apertures in places, while punctuation and figures follow the same chiseled, high-contrast logic with pointed terminals.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and newspaper-style display typography, and other editorial applications where high contrast and sharp serif detail add character. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and branding wordmarks that want a classic yet punchy, carved-serif impression.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, mixing classical bookish cues with a bolder, more theatrical presence. It feels authoritative and upscale, suited to contexts that benefit from contrast and sharp detail rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with flared, wedge-like endings—combining traditional serif structure with a more sculptural, attention-grabbing finish for display-driven typography.
In text settings the color is assertive, with strong vertical emphasis and clear stroke rhythm; the finer hairlines and pointed serif details suggest it will shine most when given enough size and resolution. Figures appear lining with similarly dramatic contrast, and the italic is not shown in the samples provided.
