A very heavy serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced wedge-like terminals. The design shows strong thick–thin contrast and crisp, angular joins that create sharp internal notches, especially where diagonals meet (seen clearly in K, N, V, W, X, and y). Counters are compact and rounded, giving letters like O, Q, e, and o a dense, ink-rich feel, while horizontal strokes remain comparatively thin and taut. Serifs and terminals often taper to points rather than blunt cuts, producing a chiseled, display-oriented texture across lines of text.
Best suited for short, impactful settings such as headlines, display typography, packaging and branding marks, and editorial title treatments. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter openers where a strong, classic presence is desired, but its dense forms and sharp detailing suggest using it at moderate-to-large sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is commanding and theatrical, with a classic, old-world gravitas. Its sharp, flaring terminals and high-contrast rhythm evoke a poster-like, headline voice that feels confident, slightly dramatic, and traditionally styled rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through weight, contrast, and flared serif geometry, combining a traditional serif foundation with sharper, more graphic terminal shaping. The intent seems focused on expressive display typography that remains legible while projecting authority and drama.
The lowercase includes several distinctive, angled stroke endings (notably on a, c, s, and r) that add motion and bite to words. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic with strong contrast and tapered terminals, creating a cohesive look for titling that includes dates or quantities.
