A very heavy, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals. Stems feel chiseled and slightly calligraphic, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and brisk, angular joins. The serifs are compact and bracketed in places, often resolving into pointed tips rather than flat slabs, giving letters a carved, faceted look. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) show crisp transitions between thick and thin, producing a punchy rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where its dramatic contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, editorial cover lines, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or packaging copy, but the dense color and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and ceremonial, combining a traditional serif backbone with a more theatrical, sculptural finish. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a hint of vintage print and headline gravitas rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif voice, using flared, tapered terminals and strong contrast to create a distinctive, carved presence for attention-led typography.
Uppercase forms are dominant and stately, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, compact silhouette that maintains impact at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, matching the flared terminals and high-contrast stress for consistent texture across mixed content.
