A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered, flared endings that read as wedge-like serifs. The letterforms lean on strong verticals with sharp transitions into thin hairlines, giving a crisp, chiseled edge in both caps and lowercase. Proportions feel compact and weighty, with tight apertures and sturdy bowls; curves are smooth but controlled, and joins often resolve into pointed, beak-like terminals. Numerals and capitals present a stately, poster-ready presence, while the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with a relatively moderate x-height and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book cover typography, and branding where a classic-but-striking serif voice is needed. It will shine at larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered endings can be appreciated, and where its dark typographic color can be used to create strong emphasis and hierarchy.
The font conveys a confident, editorial tone—formal and classic, yet theatrical due to its dramatic contrast and sharpened terminals. It suggests heritage and luxury, with a slightly assertive, headline-forward character that feels suited to high-impact typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with a more sculptural, flared finishing language, creating a display-oriented face that feels refined and high-impact. Its consistent contrast pattern and tapered stroke endings suggest an emphasis on drama and elegance for editorial and branding contexts.
Round letters (like O/C/e) show narrow internal counters relative to the heavy outer strokes, increasing the sense of density in text. The overall color on the page is dark and even, with sparkling highlights from the hairlines; this creates strong hierarchy in display sizes but can feel intense in longer passages. Several terminals resolve into subtle points or beaks, reinforcing the carved, flared finish throughout the set.
