A display serif with heavy, sculpted strokes and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins. Serifs read as sharply tapered wedges with evident bracketing, and many terminals show chiseled, triangular cut-ins that create crisp interior counters and a carved, inked look. Round letters are tightly controlled and slightly condensed in feel, with stress that reads mostly vertical; curves transition quickly into thick stems, producing a punchy rhythm. The lowercase has sturdy, compact bowls and a two-storey "g" with an energetic ear, while figures are bold and stylized with sharp interior angles and distinctive cut terminals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where the sculpted contrast and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It fits magazine mastheads, cultural or fashion editorial design, premium branding and packaging, and bold typographic posters. For long-form small text, the tight counters and delicate joins may demand careful sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is authoritative and high-end, balancing classical bookish cues with a theatrical, poster-like punch. Its sharp joins and carved terminals add tension and drama, giving text a confident, editorial voice rather than a quiet, text-face neutrality.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif template with flared, wedge-like endings and chiseled interior cuts, delivering a strong display voice that still nods to traditional editorial typography.
Spacing appears intended for headlines: large black shapes and tight apertures create strong word silhouettes, while the high contrast and fine connections suggest better performance at larger sizes. The distinctive wedge and notched details are consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a unified, engraved aesthetic.
