A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and wedge-like, flared endings that broaden into sharp, triangular serifs. Vertical strokes read as sturdy and dominant, while curves show crisp thinning and swelling, creating a lively light–dark rhythm. The outlines feel slightly chiseled, with tight joins and small notch-like cut-ins at some connections that sharpen counters and add texture. Proportions are fairly compact with substantial capitals and a steady, upright stance, producing strong word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where its sharp contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated: headlines, magazine and book cover titling, posters, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers where a strong typographic voice is needed.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, mixing classical bookish cues with a more stylized, carved quality. It feels confident and attention-grabbing, with a sense of editorial authority and a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact serif voice with a carved, flared-terminal character—combining traditional serif structure with more graphic, sculptural detailing for striking display typography.
The numerals and capitals carry a particularly strong presence, with pointed serifs and high-contrast curves that create crisp silhouettes. The lowercase maintains readability but retains the same sharp, flared terminal logic, keeping the texture energetic and tightly paced.
