A compact serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals that read as wedge-like serifs. Vertical stems feel weighty and stable while joins and curves taper sharply, creating a crisp, chiseled rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are solid and traditional, with bracketed serif behavior and pointed beaks on letters like C, S, and J. Lowercase shows sturdy proportions and distinct, angular finishing on bowls and shoulders, producing a textured, print-like color in text.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and editorial settings where contrast and sharp terminal detail can be appreciated. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, especially in print-like layouts, and is well matched to book covers, mastheads, and brand wordmarks that want a classical but assertive voice.
The overall tone is traditional and emphatic, combining classic bookish manners with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its flared endings and high contrast add ceremony and authority, giving headlines a stately, editorial presence.
The design appears intended to echo classical serif construction while amplifying impact through compact proportions, strong contrast, and flared, wedge-like finishing. The consistent sculpting across letters suggests a focus on distinctive display texture and authoritative readability in titles and prominent text.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tapered terminals create noticeable sparkle at larger sizes, while the compact width keeps lines tight and efficient. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with bold vertical presence and crisp, pointed finishing that matches the capitals.
