This serif shows a crisp, carved construction with strongly bracketed wedge-like serifs and subtly flared terminals that give many joins a chiseled look. Strokes are broadly even with gentle modulation, and several curves suggest a mild diagonal stress. The lowercase has compact, sturdy forms with short-to-moderate extenders; the ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey, while letters like ‘k’, ‘r’, and ‘t’ use sharp, tapering arms and beaks that reinforce the angular rhythm. Capitals are wide and stately with pronounced entry/exit cuts, producing a consistent pattern of triangular notches and pointed feet across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same classical, serifed logic and read clearly at text sizes.
Well-suited for book typography, editorial layouts, and academic or cultural publishing where a classical serif voice is desirable. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like invitations or certificates where its chiseled serifs can add character and gravitas.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a slightly decorative, engraved flavor. Its sharp serifs and tapered terminals add a hint of drama and ceremony without turning into an overt display face, projecting authority and a historical sensibility.
The design appears intended to blend readable, text-friendly proportions with a distinctive, engraved serif vocabulary—using wedge serifs and sharpened terminals to create a memorable texture while remaining usable in continuous reading.
The sample text shows good word-shape stability and a steady texture, while the distinctive wedge serifs and beaked terminals remain prominent enough to brand headlines and pull quotes. The pointed details in letters such as ‘v’, ‘w’, ‘x’, and ‘y’ add an energetic sparkle that becomes more noticeable as size increases.
