This typeface features robust, high-contrast letterforms with sculpted, flared terminals that read as wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves are generously rounded while joins and inner counters are crisp, creating a carved, chiseled feel. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure with compact bowls and distinct ear/terminal shapes, while capitals carry strong vertical stress and a stately stance. Numerals are similarly weighty and formal, with sharp beaks and tapered strokes that reinforce the font’s engraved rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and statement typography where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, editorial branding, and premium packaging that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice. In dense body text it may feel heavy and visually busy compared to quieter oldstyle serifs, but it can work well for short passages, pull quotes, and titling.
The overall tone is confident and formal, with a slightly theatrical, editorial punch. Its sharp, flaring endings and strong contrast evoke heritage printing and classic book typography, lending a sense of prestige and seriousness. At display sizes it feels bold and declarative; in longer settings it suggests traditional, literary refinement.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif construction with pronounced, flared stroke endings to create a bold, engraved look. It prioritizes impact and typographic color for display and editorial roles while keeping familiar proportions and structures for readability.
The face relies on pronounced terminals and tight apertures for character, producing a lively black-and-white pattern. Round letters (like O and Q forms) appear especially sculptural, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) keep a crisp, faceted presence that maintains a consistent, carved texture across lines.
