A sculpted, high-contrast roman with sharp, wedge-like terminals and a distinctly chiseled feel. Strokes transition from very thick verticals to hairline joins, producing crisp interior counters and pointed vertices, especially in diagonals and apexes. Curves are compact and tensioned, with a slightly vertical, editorial rhythm and moderate overall proportions; uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase shows pronounced stroke modulation and occasional flicked terminals that add bite without becoming ornate.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and book typography, and brand marks where contrast and sharp terminals can carry the visual identity. It can also work for short passages and pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is formal and assertive, combining editorial polish with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready punch. Its crisp cuts and dramatic contrast suggest tradition and craft, while the angular terminals keep it feeling brisk and contemporary rather than delicate.
Likely intended as a modern, high-contrast display text face that borrows from engraved and calligraphic cues while keeping the overall construction clean and readable. The wedge terminals and strong modulation appear designed to deliver impact and sophistication in titles and editorial settings.
The design relies on strong vertical emphasis and sharp terminal geometry, creating clear word shapes at display sizes. Numerals and caps appear especially solid and emblematic, with the contrast and wedge endings contributing to a carved, headline-centric texture in paragraphs.
