A heavy, flared-serif design with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls, where strokes finish in pronounced, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often pull into sharp inward notches, creating a distinctive, spurred silhouette at corners and joins. Curves are full and weighty, counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm feels dense and emphatic rather than airy. Uppercase forms are broad and commanding, while lowercase retains the same muscular presence with crisp, sculpted endings and a consistent, upright stance.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where strong silhouettes and expressive details can carry the message. It can work for short editorial callouts or chapter openers, but its energetic terminal shapes make it more impactful in larger sizes than in dense body copy.
The font projects a dramatic, old-world character with a slightly theatrical edge, balancing sturdiness with ornamental bite. Its sharp notches and flared endings add a hint of gothic or storybook flair, giving text a ceremonial, headline-forward tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation infused with flared, sculptural terminals and sharp notches, creating an assertive display voice. It prioritizes personality and presence, aiming for a distinctive texture that feels historical and theatrical without relying on extreme contrast.
In continuous text, the pronounced terminals and notched joins create a lively texture that stands out, especially at larger sizes. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and flare, reading as bold and display-oriented rather than neutral.
