A heavy, high‑contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and strongly bracketed wedge serifs. Vertical stems dominate, while curved strokes show deep modulation and tapered joins that create crisp, carved-in shapes. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with compact apertures and a slightly compressed inner rhythm that keeps forms tight and dense. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls with occasional ball terminals (notably on letters like a and f), and the figures are robust with sharp wedges and clear contrast.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where the flared serifs and contrast can read as intentional texture. It also works well for editorial titling and book-cover typography that needs gravitas and impact, and for branding marks that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with a strong editorial presence. Its sharp wedges and sculpted contrast add a slightly theatrical, poster-like emphasis while still feeling rooted in bookish, classical serif conventions.
Likely intended as a bold display serif that blends classical proportions with more expressive, flared stroke endings for added drama and presence. The goal appears to be strong readability at larger sizes while creating a distinctive, carved texture across words.
The design leans on strong triangular cues in serifs and terminals, giving many glyphs a chiseled, emblematic finish. Diagonals and joins (such as in V, W, and k) keep a crisp, angular edge that reinforces the font’s punchy texture in lines of text.
