A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden into sharp, triangular serifs. The curves are full and weighty, while thin strokes pinch tightly, creating a lively, chiseled rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact with strong vertical stress; lowercase shows a sturdy, slightly dark color with rounded bowls and crisp joins. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and emphatic, designed to read as part of the same bold, engraved texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine or newspaper display, and titling where its contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for premium packaging and book covers that need a classic yet assertive voice, especially in short to medium text runs.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a dramatic, luxe presence reminiscent of classic print typography. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modulation add a confident, theatrical edge, giving headlines a sense of ceremony and authority.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more sculptural, flared finishing, producing a striking display texture that feels both classical and contemporary. Its strong modulation and crisp terminals prioritize impact and character over neutrality.
Spacing appears generous enough for display sizes, but the heavy-black bowls and sharp internal apertures make the texture dense in longer settings. The design’s distinctive flare at stroke ends is a defining motif across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping it maintain a consistent, carved character.
