A serifed display face with calligraphic construction and a carved, slightly angular finish. Strokes show clear modulation with pointed terminals and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that often flare into triangular ends. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are firm and controlled rather than soft, while diagonals in letters like A, V, W, X, and Y feel crisp and blade-cut. Lowercase forms keep a compact, readable structure with short ascenders/descenders relative to the capitals, and the numerals echo the same sharp terminals and moderated contrast for a cohesive texture.
This font is well suited to display settings where characterful serifs and calligraphic modulation can be appreciated—book covers, chapter titles, editorial headlines, posters, and identity work for heritage-leaning brands. It can also support formal printed pieces such as invitations or certificates, especially when set with generous spacing and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is classic and old-world, evoking bookish, ceremonial typography with a touch of storybook drama. Its sharp serifs and calligraphic stress lend a sense of tradition and gravitas, while the slightly lively, hand-cut rhythm adds personality and warmth.
The design appears intended to blend formal calligraphic influence with a carved-serif silhouette, delivering strong, traditional letterforms that feel crafted rather than mechanical. It prioritizes distinctive headline presence and a historic, literary atmosphere while maintaining consistent, readable structures across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Capitals are relatively broad with prominent, sculpted serifs that create strong word shapes in headlines. The italic-less, upright stance and consistent modulation keep lines steady, while the pointed joins and wedge terminals introduce a distinctive, slightly gothic-leaning edge without becoming overly ornate.
