A sculpted serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Vertical stems carry substantial weight while hairlines and joins narrow quickly, producing crisp, high-definition counters and a strong light–dark rhythm. Serifs read as bracketed and flared, with pointed, chisel-like endings that give strokes a carved look. Proportions feel display-oriented: broad capitals with confident curves (notably in C/O/Q) and compact lowercase that maintains clarity at large sizes, supported by tight apertures and sturdy bowls.
This style excels in headlines, magazine and newspaper display typography, and premium branding where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It is well suited to posters, titles, pull quotes, and packaging that benefits from a confident, high-end voice, especially at larger sizes where the fine joins and tapered terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, with a luxurious, editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and knife-edge terminals evoke a refined, fashion-forward sensibility while still feeling traditional and bookish. The texture on the page is punchy and high-impact, suited to statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more contemporary, carved terminal treatment, maximizing contrast and presence for display use. Its consistent wedge/flared endings suggest a focus on impactful word shapes and a distinctive, premium texture for editorial and brand-driven typography.
Round letters show smooth, controlled curvature with strong thick–thin transitions, and the numerals echo the same sculpted contrast and sharp finishing. The design maintains a consistent chiseled motif across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, intentional display texture—especially noticeable in all-caps settings and large text blocks.
