A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are compact in width with a strong vertical stance, while curves and joins are cleanly drawn and tightly controlled. Serifs read as wedge-like and slightly bracketed, with occasional beak-like terminals on characters such as C and S, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphy-informed feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper logic, producing crisp silhouettes and a confident rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where sharp contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book and film titling, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short passages in print-oriented layouts when ample size and spacing preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a refined sharpness that feels editorial and slightly theatrical. Strong contrast and flared terminals add a sense of ceremony and presence, making the type feel assertive rather than casual.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with flared, tapering terminals to achieve a distinctive, engraved-like presence. Its compact proportions and emphatic contrast suggest a focus on impactful typography with a formal, publication-ready character.
In the sample text, the dense color and compact proportions create a firm typographic block, while the tapered serifs and thin hairlines keep counters and joins from feeling blunt. Round letters (O, Q) show careful contrast distribution, and diagonals (V, W, X) feel crisp and energetic due to the strong tapering.
