A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, slightly calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings that broaden into crisp, triangular serif-like terminals. Stems are sturdy and vertical, while curves show pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and tight, controlled apertures. The lowercase has a compact rhythm with rounded bowls and noticeable wedge/bracket transitions, and the overall spacing reads firm and headline-oriented. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, with strong diagonals and sharp interior cuts that reinforce the chiseled look.
This style performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography where the strong contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also suits branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classic voice, and works well for short to medium text when set with comfortable leading and not overly tight tracking.
The tone is formal and editorial, with a dramatic, engraved quality that feels confident and traditional rather than neutral. It carries a sense of authority and refinement, suited to designs that want impact without looking industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-contrast serif voice with flared, carved terminals—combining classical bookish cues with a more dramatic, display-friendly silhouette. Its shapes prioritize recognizable, authoritative wordforms and strong vertical emphasis for impactful reading at larger sizes.
Pointed terminals and ball-like terminals appear in key places, adding sparkle and contrast at larger sizes. The design leans on sharp joins and tapered entry/exit strokes, creating a lively texture in word shapes while keeping an overall disciplined, upright posture.
