A sculpted serif with prominent wedge-like, flaring stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that give the forms a chiseled, display-oriented presence. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with crisp, sharp terminals and pointed joins, producing a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm despite the overall solidity. Proportions are expansive with generous width and broad counters, while round letters stay smooth and weighty; numerals and capitals read firmly with assertive, carved-in silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where its sculptural serifs and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, magazine or newspaper-style titling, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available, but its strong personality is designed to lead rather than recede.
The tone is commanding and tradition-forward, evoking engraved signage and old-style editorial titling. Its contrast and flared detailing add drama and ceremony, giving text a confident, slightly theatrical voice rather than a quiet, utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings for high-impact reading. It aims to deliver a traditional, authoritative feel while adding a distinctive carved/engraved character for attention-grabbing typography.
Serifs and terminals often resolve into triangular or beak-like points, and many curves carry a subtle tension that keeps the texture energetic at larger sizes. The overall color on the page is dark and emphatic, with distinctive tops and feet that create strong horizontal accents in words and lines.
