A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals that flare out from the stems. Serifs are angular and braced rather than slabby, creating crisp entry/exit strokes and a chiseled silhouette. The capitals feel stately and tightly drawn with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact apertures and sturdy joins that keep counters stable at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation match the same carved, high-contrast logic, with narrow hairlines and broad main strokes producing a distinctly rhythmic texture.
Well suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial typography where contrast and personality are desirable. It also fits book covers and posters that benefit from a classic, high-impact serif, and can work for short-form branding applications where a refined, carved look is needed.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, evoking classic book typography and luxury branding while retaining a slightly theatrical, poster-ready punch. Its sharp terminals and confident contrast read as refined and authoritative rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice with modern sharpness—combining classical proportions with flared, tapered terminals to create a distinctive display texture and strong typographic presence.
In paragraphs, the strong contrast and pointed terminals produce a lively, flickering texture, especially in dense lines. The design’s crisp hairlines and tapered serifs suggest it will look best when given enough size and spacing to let the fine details breathe.
