A high-contrast serif with strongly modeled strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that read as sharp triangular serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with tight, tapered joins and crisp apexes, especially in diagonals and pointed forms. Counters are generally compact and the overall texture is dark and authoritative, with varied glyph widths that create a lively, slightly irregular rhythm in running text. Lowercase forms are sturdy and traditional, with a single-storey a and g and a compact, vertical stress that reinforces the engraved, sculptural feel.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper display, book covers, and statement typography where a confident, traditional voice is needed. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a formal, heritage-leaning presence, particularly at medium to large sizes where the contrast and terminals read cleanly.
The font conveys a classic, dramatic tone with a literary and editorial sensibility. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast create a sense of authority and ceremony, while the subtly calligraphic shaping adds warmth and historical resonance.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-impact take on classical serif construction, emphasizing sculpted stroke modulation and flared terminals for distinctive display character. It prioritizes bold presence and memorable outlines while retaining familiar, readable proportions.
At display sizes the pointed serifs and tapered curves become a defining signature, producing crisp silhouettes and strong word shapes. In dense settings the dark color and compact counters emphasize impact over delicacy.
