A flared serif design with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and noticeably widened endings that read as tapered wedges rather than slabs. The letterforms are relatively broad with open counters and a steady, upright rhythm. Serifs and terminals often sharpen into beak-like points, while junctions show subtle bracketing that softens the transition into the main stems. Rounds like C, O, and G have small triangular notches/cuts that add a sculpted, incised character, and the overall silhouette stays bold and graphic without heavy modulation.
It suits headline typography where the flared endings and carved-in details can register at size—such as posters, editorial titles, book covers, and brand marks needing a historical or crafted feel. It can also work for short text blocks or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing, where its steady rhythm and open forms maintain clarity.
The tone feels classical and slightly ceremonial, with an engraved, display-forward flavor that suggests signage, titling, and historical references. Its crisp wedges and cut-in details add drama and personality without becoming overly ornate, keeping it readable while still distinctive.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with an incised, sculptural terminal treatment, creating a distinctive display serif that remains structured and legible. The added notches and wedge-like serifs aim to give a sense of craft and heritage while keeping the overall letterforms robust and adaptable for titling.
The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey a and a compact, bookish texture; the dotted i/j are simple and round, contrasting with the sharper serif vocabulary. Numerals are bold and clear, with consistent flaring at terminals that helps them match the uppercase color.
