A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read as sharp wedges and tapered terminals rather than flat slabs. The verticals are dominant and straight, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tightly cut counters. Serifs feel bracketed and slightly triangular, giving many joins a carved, chiseled look; several letters show small notch-like cut-ins at stroke junctions that add crispness. Proportions are compact and sturdy with a tall x-height, relatively short ascenders/descenders, and round forms (O, C, G) that stay robust even at tight internal space.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and book or album covers. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available, but the dense texture suggests avoiding long small-size body text.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a classic editorial gravity. Its sharp flares and strong contrast add theatrical punch and a slightly old-world, engraved quality, making text feel formal, emphatic, and attention-demanding rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, combining classic high-contrast structure with assertive, flared terminals for a carved, display-forward presence. It prioritizes strong silhouette and headline authority, aiming for memorable forms and emphatic tone.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight apertures create a strong black footprint and a punchy rhythm, especially in mixed-case. Numerals appear weighty and display-oriented, matching the letters’ wedge-terminal language and maintaining the same high-contrast sculpting.
