A compact serif with tapered stems that broaden into flared, wedge-like endings, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic feel without a true italic slant. The letterforms show crisp, pointed terminals and pronounced sheared curves, producing a lively rhythm even at heavy color. Counters are moderately open, with tight internal spaces in letters like a, e, and s, while capitals maintain a tall, stately posture. The figures are similarly stylized with sharp hooks and angled joins, aligning with the font’s assertive, chiseled texture.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where a dense, characterful serif can carry personality—headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and poster typography. It can also work for short-form branding and packaging where a traditional yet distinctive voice is desired; for extended small text, generous size and spacing will help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is traditional and slightly theatrical, suggesting engraved signage, classic book typography, or a gothic-tinged editorial voice. Its sharp flares and emphatic stroke endings add drama and authority, making text feel ceremonial and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, tapered stroke behavior to evoke a carved or engraved impression. It prioritizes recognizable, stylish silhouettes and a strong typographic color for expressive reading and display applications.
Across the alphabet, the design favors pointed apexes and angled transitions that create strong vertical emphasis and distinctive silhouettes. The heaviest moments tend to sit at stroke endings, which can make long paragraphs feel dark and textured, while headlines gain presence and character.
