A sculpted serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and joins flare into the terminals, creating triangular spur shapes and a chiseled silhouette, while curves are tightly drawn with deep ink-trap-like notches at several junctions. Counters are compact and the rhythm is punchy, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp edges that hold their shape in dense settings. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and monumental, while lowercase forms keep the same carved, high-contrast logic through bowls, shoulders, and ascenders.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, and brand marks where its sharp flares and high-contrast modeling can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes, title treatments, and event posters that benefit from a bold, refined presence.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, mixing classical authority with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready energy. Its sharp flares and carved detailing read as confident and luxurious, suggesting heritage-inspired sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact display serif that borrows from classical inscriptional and editorial cues, using flared terminals and carved junctions to create a distinctive, premium texture.
Details like ball terminals (notably on forms such as j), pointed internal cut-ins, and angled wedge endings give the face a distinctive, almost engraved texture. In longer text the strong contrast and tight apertures produce a dense, inky color that favors display sizes over small, low-resolution use.
