A high-contrast serif with sculpted, tapering strokes and pronounced wedge-like terminals that feel subtly flared rather than blunt. Serifs are sharply cut and often bracketed, with crisp joins and a chiseled, engraved rhythm. The capitals read stately and wide-shouldered, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with a single-storey “g” and energetic diagonals in letters like “k” and “v”. Numerals carry the same tension between thick stems and hairline connections, producing a bold, refined texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where its contrast and carved terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial applications—magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes—especially when paired with generous spacing. For branding, it fits identities aiming for classic sophistication with a slightly dramatic edge.
The overall tone is assertive and formal, with an editorial elegance that recalls traditional print typography. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the flared, carved details keep it from feeling purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared terminal treatment, creating a strong, authoritative voice for contemporary editorial and display use.
In the sample text, the face creates a dark, emphatic color with clear word shapes and strong vertical stress. Spiky terminals and tight interior counters can make dense settings feel intense, suggesting it benefits from comfortable leading and thoughtful sizing for longer passages.
