A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine hairlines, showing a strong vertical stress and crisp, bracketed joins. Serifs are sharp yet slightly flared, with wedge-like endings that give strokes a carved, tapering feel rather than flat slabs. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with large counters kept relatively tight and a rhythm that alternates decisively between heavy stems and delicate connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (as in V/W/Y) read cleanly with pointed terminals and clear, chiseled transitions.
Best suited to display and editorial roles such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that need a confident, classic voice. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set generously, but its fine hairlines and tight interior spaces make it most effective above body-text sizes or in well-controlled print/digital environments.
The overall tone feels editorial and classical, projecting authority and polish with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp serifs and sculpted details suggest a heritage sensibility—formal, serious, and headline-forward—while remaining clean enough to feel contemporary in structured layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classical, high-contrast serif: authoritative and elegant, with flared, chiseled terminals that add a distinctive signature in titles and identity work.
The lowercase shows a robust, text-ready build with a prominent x-height and compact apertures, while the uppercase has a stately, inscriptional presence. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and display-oriented, with strong vertical emphasis and refined thin strokes that will benefit from adequate size and spacing in print or high-resolution settings.
