A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and distinctly flared terminals that give stems a sculpted, tapering finish. Serifs appear bracketed and wedge-like, with sharp, triangular shaping at key joins and ends, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and weighty with strong vertical emphasis; lowercase follows with sturdy bowls and a slightly condensed feel, keeping counters relatively tight for a dense, impactful color. Numerals share the same high-contrast, flared treatment, reading as traditional and display-oriented rather than neutral text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where its strong contrast and flared endings can read clearly. It works well for book covers, posters, mastheads, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, authoritative feel, and it can add a formal tone to packaging and invitations when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a dramatic, old-style gravitas. Its sharp wedges and swelling stems suggest heritage and ceremony, while the dark, compact texture lends an assertive editorial voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with emphatic flaring and sharp wedge details, maximizing presence and clarity at display sizes. Its compact proportions and strong stroke modulation prioritize impact and a heritage-leaning voice over neutrality.
Pointed internal detailing and tapered joints (notably in diagonals and vertexes) create a slightly faceted, cut-in-stone character that becomes more prominent at larger sizes. In running text, the weight and tight counters produce a strong, poster-like presence rather than a light, airy texture.
