A calligraphic roman with flared, wedge-like terminals and crisp, lightly incised contours that suggest a broad-nib or carved-stroke origin. Strokes show moderate contrast with pointed joins and tapered endings, producing a sharp, sculpted rhythm rather than soft curves. Uppercase forms are broad and stately, while the lowercase is compact with slightly angular bowls and narrow apertures in places, keeping texture lively. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with clean diagonals and pronounced finishing cuts that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display roles such as book and chapter titles, editorial headlines, posters, and branded pull quotes where the crisp flares and carved-stroke flavor can be appreciated. It can also work for formal invitations or cultural programs when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, with a formal, inscriptional character that evokes books, ceremonies, and heritage contexts. Its sharp terminals and controlled contrast add a slightly dramatic, authoritative edge without becoming ornamental or overly delicate.
The design appears intended to translate formal calligraphic and inscriptional cues into a readable, contemporary display roman. By emphasizing flared terminals, controlled contrast, and sharp joins, it aims to deliver a dignified, historic voice with clear letterforms for prominent text.
The face maintains a consistent pen/knife logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, with repeated wedge endings and pointed stress that unify the set. The italic is not shown; the sample reads as upright, relying on terminal shape and contrast for expressiveness rather than slant or connecting strokes.
