A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and bracketed joins that create a carved, chiseled feel. Strokes transition quickly from thick verticals to fine hairlines, with crisp triangular serifs and sharp apexes in forms like A, V, W, and Y. Counters are relatively open and round (notably in O, Q, and e), while curves and shoulders end in tapered, pointed finishing strokes. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals with sturdy, confident stems; the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with compact, sturdy bowls and distinct stroke modulation.
This font is well suited to headlines and display text where its high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works especially well for editorial design, book covers, cultural or academic branding, and posters that call for a classic serif voice with added bite and presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its sharp, flared endings add a slightly dramatic, engraved character that feels formal and deliberate rather than casual.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with more expressive, flared stroke endings, producing a refined but attention-getting texture. It aims for a confident, print-forward look that reads as established and formal while remaining visually distinctive.
The Q features a distinctive, sweeping tail that reinforces the calligraphic/engraved impression. Numerals appear sturdy and display-oriented, with clear weight contrast and firm bases that hold up well at larger sizes.
