A compact, high-contrast serif with strongly vertical rhythm and crisp, flared terminals. Stems are weighty and taper into pointed, wedge-like serifs, while thin connecting strokes and apertures create a chiseled, engraved silhouette. Curves are controlled and somewhat condensed, with tight counters and confident, sculpted joins that keep the texture dense and assertive in both upper- and lowercase. Numerals follow the same carved logic, with prominent verticals and sharp finishing strokes that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and sharp serifs can stay crisp: magazine and newspaper headlines, book and album covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a classic, authoritative voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles, especially when generous tracking and leading are used to offset its dense texture.
The overall tone is traditional and ceremonious, with a stately, print-classic presence. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast suggest heritage publishing and institutional gravitas, while the flared finishing gives it a slightly theatrical, headline-ready edge.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, high-impact serif with an engraved, flared finishing—balancing classical letterforms with assertive contrast for attention in headlines and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and tightly proportioned, creating strong word shapes in all-caps. Lowercase maintains a steady, upright stance with noticeable stroke modulation; round letters keep a firm, contained bowl, and punctuation inherits the same pointed, emphatic finishing.
