A high-contrast serif with robust verticals and sharply tapered hairlines, shaped by subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Curves are rounded and full, while joins and corners resolve into pointed, wedge-like endings that add snap to the silhouette. Proportions lean slightly wide in round letters with compact counters in the heaviest strokes, giving text a dense, emphatic rhythm. The figures and capitals carry strong, sculpted presence, with lively diagonal energy in letters like K, V, W, and X.
Best suited to headlines, titles, pull quotes, and other display applications where the strong contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial or book-cover typography when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size, especially for short passages where a bold, classic voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an engraved, old-world flavor that reads as formal and slightly dramatic. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of ceremony and editorial gravitas, making it feel confident and attention-getting rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with a more expressive, incised finish—using flared terminals and sharp tapers to create a sculpted, authoritative texture. It prioritizes impact and character in larger settings while keeping familiar serif structures for legibility and typographic tradition.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and tight interior spaces make word shapes feel punchy at larger sizes, while the crisp hairlines and flared endings contribute to a distinctive texture. The overall effect sits between bookish serif tradition and display-minded styling, with a consistent, carved finishing across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
