A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and clean, chiseled terminals. Stems are predominantly straight and vertical, while bowls and shoulders show a slightly calligraphic modulation that emphasizes thick–thin rhythm. Many joins and terminals flare into pointed wedges, giving letters a sculpted, engraved feel rather than soft bracketing. Proportions lean traditional, with compact lowercase forms, a moderate x-height, and clear differentiation between round and straight-sided characters.
This font is well suited to display settings where its sharp serif accents and high-contrast rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, book or film titling, and premium packaging or branding. It can work in short-to-medium text in spacious layouts, but its pointed details are most effective at larger sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, with a distinctly dramatic, old-world polish. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast evoke editorial sophistication and a faintly ceremonial, inscription-like character.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif voice with more dramatic, tapered serifs and a carved, ornamental finish, balancing legibility with a distinctive, decorative edge for attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the strong contrast and spiky serif shapes create lively texture and a crisp, sparkling edge, especially in capitals. Numerals carry the same wedge-terminal language, reading as traditional and slightly stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
