A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly sculpted, flared finish to many strokes. Stems often widen toward terminals, creating an incised, chiseled impression rather than flat slab endings, and many serifs read as bracketed wedges. Curves are full and weighty, with narrow interior counters that add density at text sizes, while diagonals (V, W, Y) show crisp, tapered transitions. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy with round i-dots, a two-storey a, and a single-storey g featuring a prominent ear; overall spacing and rhythm feel deliberate and display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short blocks of text where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works particularly well for editorial layouts, book and album covers, theatrical or cultural posters, and brand marks that need a classic yet assertive serif voice.
The tone is traditional and authoritative with a slightly theatrical edge, mixing classical bookish cues with a carved, monumental texture. Its strong contrast and emphatic terminals give it a confident, declarative voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact serif with a carved, flared-stroke character—combining traditional proportions with dramatic modulation for strong display presence.
Round letters like O and Q appear deeply modeled, with the Q’s tail cutting out dynamically from the bowl. Numerals are heavy and expressive, with curving figures (2, 3, 5, 6, 9) showing the same flared, calligraphic stress as the letters.
