A sturdy serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, tapering finish. Stems are heavy and mostly even in weight, with subtle swelling toward ends and occasional pointed joins that create a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Counters are relatively open for a bold face, and the round letters show a controlled, compact curvature rather than fully geometric circles. The lowercase features a single-storey “a” and “g,” a sharp-shouldered “r,” and a “t” with a short crossbar, all reinforcing a sculpted, display-oriented texture.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display text where the flared terminals and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It can work well for book jackets, editorial titles, heritage-leaning branding, and packaging that needs a confident, classic voice.
The overall tone feels classical and authoritative, with a hint of old-world craftsmanship. Its flared endings and chiseled silhouettes read as literary and slightly theatrical, suggesting tradition and gravitas rather than neutrality.
The font appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with flared, chiseled terminals to create a strong, distinctive display texture. The goal seems to be a bold, legible style that evokes engraved or stone-cut letterforms while remaining usable for prominent text settings.
The design creates strong word shapes with noticeable stroke endings that remain clear at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same carved logic, with angular cuts and a robust presence that matches the capitals.
