A compact, display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring stroke endings. Serifs read as sharp wedges and triangular beaks rather than flat slabs, with pointed joins and tapered counters that heighten the carved, chiseled feel. Curves are full but tightly controlled, while straight stems stay dense and weighty; the overall rhythm is energetic, with slightly irregular stroke expansion that gives letters a hand-cut, engraved quality. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with prominent teardrop-like joins and crisp, angular terminals.
Best suited for large sizes where its sharp wedges and high-contrast detailing can read clearly: headlines, poster typography, magazine mastheads, book or album covers, and premium brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when ample spacing is available.
The tone is theatrical and authoritative, pairing classical bookish cues with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast suggest luxury, tradition, and a slightly gothic or baroque edge, making it feel ceremonial and headline-forward rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, carved-serif voice that blends classical proportions with flared, wedge-like endings for maximum impact. It emphasizes strong silhouette and contrast-driven detail to create a distinctive, upscale display texture.
In the text sample, the heavy weight and narrow interior spaces make the color very dark, with strong vertical emphasis and high-impact word shapes. The uppercase feels especially monumental, while the lowercase maintains a compact, punchy texture with distinctive terminal cuts.
