A high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals and crisp triangular serifs that give strokes a chiseled finish. Vertical stems read steady and upright while curved forms show strong thick–thin modulation, producing a lively, sculpted rhythm in text. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide in presence, with sharp internal corners and pointed joins, while lowercase maintains a traditional book face structure with compact bowls and clear counters. Numerals follow the same contrasty, engraved logic, with distinctive angled terminals and a sturdy baseline presence.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where its contrast and wedge serifs can read as intentional detail, and it also works for editorial applications that want a traditional, premium feel. It can support branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craft, or cultural gravitas, and it’s effective on book covers or posters where a classic serif voice is needed.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a refined, editorial flavor reminiscent of engraved or inscriptional letterforms. Sharp serifs and dramatic contrast add a slightly ceremonial, old-world sophistication that feels confident rather than casual.
The letterforms appear designed to blend classical serif proportions with an inscriptional, flared-stem finish, emphasizing sharp terminals and dramatic contrast for a refined, attention-holding texture. The intent seems to be a versatile serif with a distinctly carved character that elevates tone in editorial and display settings.
The design leans on flared stroke endings and triangular wedge serifs as a unifying motif across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating strong texture and a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes. The sharpness of terminals and deep notches in some joins give it a more dramatic, display-leaning personality even when set in paragraph text.
