A heavyweight display serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals that flare from the stems. Serifs are sharply bracketed and often triangular, giving letters a carved, incised feel rather than a blunt slab presence. Proportions are expansive with broad caps and generous set width, while counters stay relatively open to maintain legibility at large sizes. Curves (C, O, S) show strong thick–thin rhythm, and diagonals (V, W, Y, Z) end in pointed, knife-like tips that reinforce the sculpted look.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and large-format display where its high-contrast carving and wide stance can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and cultural editorial design, book covers, and brand marks that want a premium, heritage-leaning voice with strong visual punch.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classical engraving cues with a modern, attention-seeking swagger. It reads as authoritative and slightly formal, with an editorial, headline-first energy that feels designed to command space on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a sculpted, high-contrast serif for display use, combining calligraphic modulation with flared, incised terminals to produce a distinctive, luxurious headline texture.
In text settings the heavy weight and sharp terminals create a dark typographic color and vivid word shapes, especially in mixed-case. Numerals are sturdy and display-oriented, matching the same flared terminal language for consistent impact.
