A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Vertical stems read as weighty and steady while hairlines snap to fine points, creating sharp internal corners and lively counters. The proportions lean toward compact, with rounded letters (O, C) showing pronounced thick–thin modulation, and the overall rhythm mixes sturdy stems with tapered, wedge-like terminals for a crisp, engraved look.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, posters, and book covers where high contrast and sculpted detailing can be appreciated. It can also serve in branding and packaging for premium or heritage-leaning identities, especially when used sparingly as a display face.
The tone is formal and theatrical, combining old-style elegance with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. It suggests tradition and authority, but the pointed terminals and flare add a slightly flamboyant, headline-ready energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared finishing strokes, emphasizing drama and sophistication for display settings. Its forms prioritize impact and distinctive silhouette over neutral text economy.
Numerals appear designed for display impact, with clear contrast and pronounced terminals that maintain legibility at larger sizes. In text, the strong stroke modulation and tight shaping create a dark, emphatic color that benefits from generous spacing and larger setting sizes.
