This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, ink-trap-free solidity. Serifs are sharp and angular with clear bracketing in places, creating a chiseled, high-definition silhouette. Capitals are broad and stately with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase forms are compact with tight joins and a distinctly carved look in shoulders and arms. Numerals follow the same engraved rhythm, with ample bowls and firm, tapered endings that keep figures legible and weighty in display settings.
It’s well suited to headlines and large text where its contrast and sharp terminals can read cleanly, such as magazine features, book jackets, cultural posters, and premium branding. In short paragraphs it maintains a strong editorial voice, particularly for pull quotes, deck lines, and display copy that benefits from a classic serif presence.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that reads as premium and intentional. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a sense of ceremony and impact, balancing refinement with a slightly austere, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-impact serif voice with flared, wedge-like finishing that recalls engraved or calligraphic construction. It prioritizes strong contrast, crisp terminals, and a commanding rhythm for display-driven typography.
Spacing and sidebearings appear comfortable at text sizes in the sample, while the internal counters remain open enough to prevent the heavy strokes from clogging. The ‘g’ and ‘y’ show assertive, angular finishing strokes, reinforcing the font’s carved, formal character.
