A high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that give stems a sculpted, chiseled feel. Curves are tight and glossy, with sharp joins and crisp interior counters, while verticals carry most of the visual weight against hairline cross-strokes. Proportions are fairly traditional with compact lowercase and sturdy capitals, and spacing feels deliberately generous for display clarity. Numerals and capitals share the same engraved rhythm, with pointed apexes and firm horizontals that keep the texture bold and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, book and album covers, and other display settings where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with adequate size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is editorial and classical, with a confident, high-end presence reminiscent of engraved lettering and traditional publishing. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add drama and ceremony, projecting sophistication and authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, producing a bold display face that feels engraved and premium. Its consistent high-contrast rhythm and sharpened detailing suggest a focus on impactful titling and strong typographic voice.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes and hairlines create a lively page color, especially in mixed-case lines where the pointed terminals and wedge serifs add motion. At smaller sizes the fine strokes may visually thin compared to the bold main stems, so it reads most convincingly when given room and contrast.
