A sculpted serif with strongly flared stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin contrast, giving the letters a carved, display-forward presence. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, and many joins show sharp, chiseled transitions that create an ink-trap-like bite in tight corners. Bowls and counters are generous and rounded, while diagonals and apexes stay crisp and angular, producing a rhythmic mix of soft curves and hard edges. Overall spacing and color read dense and emphatic, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that remains firmly upright.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, and book-cover titling where its sculpted contrast can set a strong voice. It also fits branding, packaging, and event posters that benefit from a classic-but-dramatic serif with distinctive flared detailing.
The tone is bold and theatrical, blending classical gravitas with a showy, poster-ready attitude. Its high-drama contrast and flared terminals feel ceremonial and old-world, yet the crisp edges keep it assertive and contemporary for headline use.
The design appears intended as a display serif that amplifies contrast and flare to create a memorable silhouette and strong typographic color. Its detailing suggests a focus on impact and character over neutrality, aiming for a refined yet attention-grabbing voice in larger settings.
The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with distinctive terminals and sturdy arches, while capitals feel monumental and tightly drawn. Numerals match the same sculpted contrast and flared finishing, reading best at larger sizes where the sharp internal notches and bracketed details stay clear.
