A high-contrast serif with strongly sculpted strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that give the letters a carved, calligraphic feel. The design emphasizes sharp joins, teardrop-like counters, and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions, producing a lively texture even at display sizes. Capitals are stately and compact with assertive serifs, while the lowercase shows energetic shapes—especially in a, g, y, and z—adding rhythm and personality to lines of text. Numerals are similarly weighty and angular, matching the crisp, chiseled modulation seen throughout the alphabet.
Well suited for headlines, deck text, and editorial typography where a strong, classic voice is needed. It can work effectively for book covers, magazine titles, cultural posters, and brand identities that benefit from a traditional serif with extra drama and crafted detail.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, combining formality with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast suggest tradition and authority, while the flared endings add a distinctive, crafted character that feels expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The font appears designed to merge classic serif proportions with flared, chiseled terminals to create a commanding display face. Its strong contrast and sculptural finishing suggest an intention to deliver impact and elegance simultaneously, especially in prominent typographic roles.
In text, the bold color and pronounced modulation create strong word shapes and clear emphasis, though the crisp terminals and tight inner spaces give it a distinctly display-forward presence. Round letters show notable stroke swelling and tapering, contributing to a dynamic, slightly engraved look.
