A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, calligraphic feel: thick verticals pair with hairline-like joins and pointed, triangular serifs. Stems often broaden into subtly flared endings, creating wedge-shaped terminals and a chiseled rhythm across the alphabet. The design shows crisp corners, compact apertures, and lively stroke modulation; capitals are commanding and slightly narrow in posture, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with distinctive, angular details on joins and terminals. Figures echo the same sharp, faceted construction and strong thick–thin patterning, giving numerals a display-ready presence.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, and editorial typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, magazine titles, cultural posters, and branding that benefits from a traditional yet sculpted serif voice; for extended text, it will perform best at comfortable sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone is stately and dramatic, with a refined, print-oriented elegance. Its sharp serifs and theatrical contrast suggest tradition and authority, while the flared endings add a crafted, engraved character that feels confident and slightly ceremonial.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with a more carved, flared-terminal finish, delivering strong presence and a premium, print-like tactility. It aims for high impact and clarity in display settings while retaining enough structure for short-form reading.
In text, the dense black shapes and pointed details create a crisp, high-impact color that favors larger sizes and ample line spacing. The wedge terminals can produce noticeable sparkle in certain letter pairs, contributing to an energetic, slightly austere texture.
