A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, hairline connections, and pronounced flare as strokes approach terminals. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with a subtly chiseled feel, and many joins show gentle bracketing that softens the transition into the stem. The letters have compact counters and a slightly condensed, stacked rhythm in text, with crisp apexes and pointed diagonals that keep the silhouette energetic. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted modulation, producing a strong, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, posters, and cover work where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits editorial branding and section openers that need a traditional serif presence with extra bite, but it will generally benefit from generous sizing and spacing in longer text.
The overall tone is assertive and classical, with a carved, display-oriented elegance that reads as editorial and institutional. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a sense of theater and prestige, while the controlled proportions keep it feeling disciplined rather than decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modernized, carved-serif impression: strong vertical authority paired with crisp hairlines and flared terminals to create impact and a refined, editorial finish.
In paragraph settings the heavy stems and tight internal spaces create dense texture, making it most comfortable at larger sizes where the hairlines and interior shapes can breathe. The distinctive flared endings and angular serif forms give words a memorable, slightly historic voice without leaning into ornate detailing.
