A sculpted serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes show a strong thick–thin modulation, with weight concentrating in verticals and swelling into terminals, producing sharp triangular joins and crisp apertures. The texture is lively and uneven in a deliberate way, with slightly variable letter widths and assertive, angular details on diagonals and cross-strokes. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with ball-like dots and emphatic entry/exit strokes that reinforce the chiseled rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where its flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated—magazine and newspaper headlines, book and album covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks seeking a classic but punchy tone. In dense paragraph settings it will create a strong, dark color, so it’s most effective for short blocks, pull quotes, and titling.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a ceremonial, headline-forward presence. Its sharp flares and high-contrast modeling give it a dramatic, editorial voice—more classic and formal than friendly, but energetic rather than static.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif construction through a flared, chiseled stroke model, emphasizing drama and presence over neutrality. It aims for a confident, heritage-inflected display voice with distinctive terminals that remain legible and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Round letters (like O/C/G) read as strongly modeled with deep, scooped counters, while diagonals and arms end in pointed, knife-like terminals. Numerals follow the same carved logic, pairing weighty main strokes with crisp, tapered finishing strokes for a cohesive display texture.
