A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and weight concentrated in the verticals. The terminals and serifs flare and taper with a chiseled feel, creating wedge-like, bracketed endings rather than blunt slabs. Curves are full and rounded (notably in O, Q, and the bowls of b/d/p), while joins stay crisp and controlled. The lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and sturdy, slightly condensed-feeling counters that keep the texture dark and even in text.
Best suited to headlines and prominent text where the flared details and contrast can be appreciated—magazine titles, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial text at comfortable sizes, where its sturdy forms maintain a consistent, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a confident, authoritative presence. Its sharp, flared details and high-contrast rhythm add a subtle dramatic, engraved character that reads as classic and premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to modernize an old-style, inscribed serif sensibility into a bold, highly legible style with a strong editorial voice. The flared endings and sculpted joins emphasize craftsmanship and tradition while keeping the silhouettes clean for contemporary display use.
In the sample text, the type forms a dense, steady color with clear vertical stress and crisp punctuation. Numerals match the display-like weight and contrast, with rounded forms in 0/8/9 and strong, sculpted diagonals in 2/7 that reinforce the font’s carved, emphatic personality.
