A high-contrast serif with strongly sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like, bracketed serifs rather than flat slabs. The design emphasizes broad verticals with sharp transitions into thin hairlines, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm across text. Curves are generous and slightly taut, with tapered joins and angled terminals that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Uppercase forms feel compact and monumental, while the lowercase shows sturdy, legible shapes with a clearly defined two-storey a, a deep-shouldered n, and a lively g that adds texture in running text. Numerals follow the same chiseled contrast, with distinctive diagonals and sharp beaks that reinforce the formal tone.
This font performs best for headlines, magazine or newspaper-style editorial titling, book covers, and statement branding where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes, especially when paired with a quieter companion for body copy.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, blending classical book-seriff authority with a more display-forward, carved look. It feels suited to statements—headlines and pull quotes—while still maintaining enough structure to read as traditional and editorial rather than novelty.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with heightened contrast and flared, carved terminals—aiming for impact, sophistication, and a slightly monumental, engraved character in both uppercase display settings and readable mixed-case text.
Across the alphabet and figures, the spacing and stroke modulation create a dark, rhythmic texture that benefits from breathing room. The pointed terminals and flared ends are especially noticeable in letters like T, V, W, and Y, where diagonals and arms finish with decisive, chiseled edges.
