A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. The design shows pronounced thick–thin transitions, tight apertures, and compact counters, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready color on the page. Curves are smooth and rounded, while joins and terminals often sharpen into pointed or teardrop forms; several lowercase shapes feature distinct ball terminals and swelling entry/exit strokes. Overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with strong vertical emphasis and assertive, chunky silhouettes in both letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and short editorial passages where a dramatic serif voice is desirable. It can add authority and personality to magazine titles, book covers, packaging, and branding moments that need a bold, crafted look rather than a neutral reading face.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classic serif sophistication with a punchy, contemporary edge. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, with a slightly eccentric, crafted character that feels at home in high-impact editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a dense typographic color, pronounced contrast, and flared, sculptural terminals—creating a serif that feels simultaneously traditional and stylized for modern display use.
In text, the strong contrast and narrow internal spaces make it feel most comfortable at larger sizes, where the sculpted serifs and terminal details can be appreciated. The numerals are robust and curvy, matching the font’s overall weight and high-contrast modeling.
