A high-contrast serif with prominent flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that create sharp, sculpted joins. Vertical stems are heavy and steady while thin strokes taper quickly, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm in text. The letterforms mix broad, rounded bowls with angular cuts and pointed terminals, giving counters a distinctive, carved look. Lowercase forms show compact, sturdy construction with a clear, traditional two-storey a and g and a relatively firm, upright stance.
Best suited for headlines, magazine spreads, and other display settings where its contrast and flared details can read clearly. It can also work well for branding and packaging that benefits from a premium, classic tone, especially when set with generous spacing and solid print contrast.
The font projects a confident editorial voice with a strong sense of ceremony and polish. Its sharp flares and dramatic contrast lend a luxe, headline-forward tone, balancing classic typographic heritage with a more theatrical, display-oriented edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding serif voice with a distinctive flared/engraved finish, emphasizing elegance and impact over neutrality. It aims to stand out in display typography while retaining familiar serif structures for readable, structured text at larger sizes.
In larger sizes the pointed wedges and tapered hairlines become the dominant visual signature, especially at joins and terminals. The figures appear designed to match the same high-contrast, chiseled logic, with crisp diagonals and strong vertical emphasis that keep numerals visually aligned with the capitals.
