A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that create a carved, sculptural silhouette. Stems are robust and largely vertical, while curves tighten into compact, ink-trap-like joins in places, giving counters a slightly pinched, energetic rhythm. Uppercase forms feel broad-shouldered and stable; the lowercase shows sturdy bowls, a two-storey “a,” and an ear on “g,” with punctuation and figures matching the strong, cut-stone color on the page. Numerals are bold and display-minded, with distinctive, angled cuts and swelling terminals that reinforce the flared construction.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and book or magazine covers where its dense color and flared serif detail can carry the composition. It can also support bold, heritage-leaning branding and packaging that benefits from an authoritative, classical voice.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a commanding presence that reads as editorial and institutional. Its dramatic weight and sharp detailing suggest a serious, declarative voice—more headline and proclamation than quiet body copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, traditional serif presence with a sculpted, flared finish—prioritizing impact, character, and a distinctive engraved rhythm in larger-scale typography.
The design’s dark typographic color and tight interior spaces make it visually striking at larger sizes, where the flares and wedge serifs become key identifying details. In dense settings, the compact counters and sharp joins can become a defining texture, emphasizing a bold, engraved character.
