A high-contrast serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and flared strokes that give the letterforms an incised, chiseled feel. Curves are broad and smooth while joins and endpoints narrow into crisp points, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm across the alphabet. Serifs read as tapered wedges rather than flat slabs, and many characters show subtle asymmetries and angled cuts that add motion. Overall proportions are moderately wide with open counters and a slightly idiosyncratic, decorative construction that stays consistent from capitals through lowercase and numerals.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, editorial titling, book covers, posters, and brand marks where the sculptural contrast and wedge terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, but it is most effective when used to add character and drama rather than for dense, continuous reading.
The tone is dramatic and cultured, balancing classical refinement with a playful, storybook edge. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrast feel ceremonial and expressive, suggesting historic display typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif through an incised, calligraphy-informed lens, emphasizing sharp terminals, strong contrast, and a distinctive decorative presence for titling and identity work.
In the sample text, the font maintains strong word shapes and clear counters, but the pointed terminals and energetic stroke modulation draw attention to themselves, especially at larger sizes. The numerals mirror the same tapered, calligraphic logic, helping headlines and titling feel cohesive.
