A very heavy, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced vertical stress. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to hairline joins, creating sharp, sculpted counters and crisp interior cut-ins, especially where curves meet stems. Terminals often resolve into teardrop or ball-like shapes, giving many letters a carved, calligraphic finish. The overall silhouette is compact and weighty, with sturdy capitals and lively lowercase featuring distinct, sometimes swashy details in letters like g, j, and y.
Best suited to headlines, cover typography, and short editorial bursts where its contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for branding and packaging that wants a classic serif voice with extra personality, and for posters or titles where dense, bold forms help command attention.
The tone reads confident and editorial, blending traditional serif formality with a slightly theatrical, decorative flair. Its high contrast and prominent terminals create a sense of luxury and drama, while the robust weight keeps it assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as a statement serif: a traditional, high-contrast foundation pushed into a heavier, more decorative direction through pronounced bracketing and expressive terminals. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and stylistic character for display-driven typography.
Numerals and capitals feel particularly poster-ready, with large dark masses and clean, high-contrast apertures. The design’s distinctive terminals and steep contrast make letterforms visually memorable, but also emphasize the need for generous sizing and spacing in text settings.
