A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and a flared, chiseled feel in the stroke endings. The serifs are wedge-like and often sharply bracketed, with strong triangular terminals that give the outlines a cut-from-stone character. Curves are tight and controlled, counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm is slightly irregular in a purposeful, display-oriented way. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and monumental, while lowercase shows calligraphic influence in letters like a, g, j, and y, with energetic joins and crisp terminals.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine/editorial titling, and book-cover typography where sharp serif detail and contrast can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and poster work that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone.
The font reads as literary and editorial, with a dramatic, old-world confidence. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling add a sense of ceremony and authority, evoking bookish, classic, and slightly gothic-leaning cues without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-contrast serif voice with flared, carved terminals—balancing classic book typography cues with a more theatrical, display-ready sharpness.
The numeral set matches the same sculpted logic, with curving figures and pointed terminals that keep the texture lively at large sizes. The overall color on the page is dark and impactful, suggesting it is tuned more for headlines and short passages than for dense, small text.
