A heavy, display-oriented serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer joins. Serifs are sharply cut and bracketed, with wedge-like feet and tapered arms that create a chiseled, poster-ready texture. The proportions run generously wide, with ample counters and assertive curves; bowls and shoulders feel carved rather than geometric. Lowercase shows lively, calligraphic inflections—noticeable in the beaked or hooked terminals on letters like a, c, e, and the long, curving descenders on g and y—while maintaining a consistent, sturdy rhythm across text.
Best suited for headlines, magazine features, book covers, and campaign-style layouts where a bold typographic voice is desirable. It can also work for logos and packaging that want a classic foundation with more flourish than a text serif, while longer passages will benefit from generous leading and size.
The overall tone is confident and ceremonial, evoking traditional print typography with a theatrical, headline-forward presence. Its crisp flares and sweeping terminals add a slightly baroque flair that reads as premium and editorial rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif feel with heightened drama through flared, wedge-like terminals and sweeping curves, prioritizing impact and character over neutrality. Its wide stance and sculpted details suggest a focus on display typography that remains rooted in classic letterform conventions.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and clear differentiation between characters, but the dense, dark color and energetic terminals make it feel most at home at larger sizes. Numerals appear similarly weighty and stylized, with angled cuts and curved tails that match the serif vocabulary.
