A sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like stroke endings and crisp, chiseled terminals that evoke an incised, carved quality. The letterforms have generous bowls and open apertures, with a lively rhythm created by subtle stroke modulation and slightly tapered joins. Serifs are not blocky; they expand from stems into pointed, triangular feet and head serifs, producing a confident, sculptural silhouette. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with a traditional uppercase presence and a lowercase that stays compact but clear in text.
This design is well suited to headlines and display typography where its flared terminals can provide character and presence. It also holds up in larger blocks of text for editorial layouts, book covers, and printed collateral that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice. The strong silhouettes make it a solid choice for branding, packaging, and poster work that aims for a refined, traditional impact.
The overall tone is editorial and heritage-minded, mixing classical gravitas with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp wedges and carved detailing suggest tradition, ceremony, and authority, while the open counters keep it approachable and energetic in longer passages.
The font appears designed to reinterpret classical, carved-serif traditions in a robust, contemporary text-and-display tool. Its flared endings and crisp terminals prioritize a distinctive texture and strong word shapes while preserving readability through open counters and steady proportions.
Numbers are weighty and compact with consistent wedge finishing, matching the text color of the letters. Punctuation and the ampersand maintain the same carved, pointed logic, helping headings and short emphatic lines feel cohesive and intentional.
