A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flare where stems meet terminals, producing wedge-like serifs and tapered joins. Curves are broad and tightly tensioned, with crisp interior counters and a slightly calligraphic stress that shows up in letters like C, S, and O. Many lowercase forms use rounded, ball-like terminals (notably a, c, e, f), while angled strokes (V, W, X, Y) end in sharp points that reinforce the chiseled rhythm. The overall texture is dense and poster-forward, yet the letterforms remain disciplined and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand marks where its strong contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also works for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and titling where a dense, authoritative typographic voice is desirable.
The font communicates a confident, old-world formality with a theatrical edge—classic in spirit but punchy and contemporary in weight. Its flared serifs and sculpted terminals suggest heritage publishing and display typography, lending a sense of ceremony, authority, and crafted refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with amplified weight and sculptural terminal treatment, combining traditional contrast with flared, tapered endings to create impact in large-scale typography.
In text, the bold massing creates strong word shapes and clear emphasis, while the lively terminal shapes add personality at larger sizes. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and broad proportions, helping headlines and callouts feel cohesive.
