A sculpted serif with strong, bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and joins flare subtly into terminals, giving the letters a chiseled, carved quality rather than crisp hairlines. Counters are generally compact and the rhythm is dense, with broad capitals and sturdy lowercase forms that keep their shapes clear at large sizes. Curves (C, G, O, S) show controlled contrast and slightly pinched transitions, while numerals share the same weighty, flared finishing and old-style-inspired curvature.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its sculpted contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated—such as magazine mastheads, book covers, posters, and bold brand marks. In dense paragraphs it creates a dark, commanding texture, so it will be most comfortable in larger text sizes or for emphasis rather than long-running body copy.
The font projects a classic, editorial seriousness with a dramatic, ceremonial edge. Its flared endings and high-contrast strokes feel traditional and literary, evoking print-era authority and a touch of vintage grandeur.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra drama and presence, combining classic proportions with flared, carved terminals for standout display typography. The emphasis appears to be on impactful word shapes and a strong editorial imprint rather than minimal, neutral text setting.
Serif shapes are consistently wedge-like and firmly attached, creating a continuous, engraved texture across words. The sample text shows strong word color and presence, with punctuation and dots reading as bold, round accents that reinforce the heavy, poster-ready tone.
