A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs. The forms feel carved and slightly calligraphic, with flared terminals, tight apertures in letters like C and S, and a generally vertical, stately stance. Uppercase proportions are strong and compact with emphatic vertical stems, while the lowercase shows a comparatively large x-height and sturdy, sculpted bowls; numerals echo the same crisp, chiseled rhythm. Overall spacing reads firm and display-leaning, with striking black shapes and crisp internal counters.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book or album covers, and mastheads where its contrast and wedge serifs can read crisply at larger sizes. It can also serve as a distinctive branding serif for logos or packaging, especially where a formal, editorial character is desired.
The font conveys a theatrical, editorial tone—confident and attention-grabbing with a refined, old-world seriousness. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast suggest prestige and ceremony, while the slightly decorative construction keeps it from feeling purely conservative.
The design appears intended as a decorative, high-impact serif that blends classical proportions with sharper, more stylized wedge terminals to create an engraved, statement-making texture. It prioritizes strong silhouette and contrast for memorable, premium-feeling typography in short-form text.
Diagonal strokes and joins (notably in N, V, W, and x) have a distinctly cut, faceted feel that reinforces the engraved impression. Curves are smooth but tightened by pointed terminals, giving words a punchy silhouette in headlines and short phrases.
