Specimen

Synergy in stone

A rigid display serif with incised details, OpenType ligatures, and a small set of alternate letterforms.

A

Incised apex

Wide, architectural strokes with a sharp upper vertex — carved rather than drawn.

M

Monolithic rhythm

Vertical emphasis and balanced counters give display settings a stone-cut permanence.

H

Rigid structure

Strong verticals and restrained horizontals anchor headlines with quiet authority.

1

Beaked numeral

The numeral one carries a distinctive sharp beak — a small detail with outsized character.

&

Flat-baseline ampersand

A restrained ampersand sits cleanly on the baseline, with an alternate calligraphic form available.
