A robust serif with pronounced contrast and a carved, flaring treatment at stroke terminals that reads like wedge or beaked serifs. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with crisp edges, tight apertures, and strong vertical emphasis; curves are full but controlled, giving counters a slightly pinched, sculptural feel. Capitals are broad and commanding, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with sturdy stems and a moderate x-height; joins and terminals show a subtly calligraphic taper that keeps the heavy weight from feeling blunt. Numerals follow the same bold, high-contrast logic, with sharp entry/exit strokes and confident, display-leaning proportions.
Best suited to headlines and short-form typography where its bold contrast and flared serifs can read as intentional detailing—magazine mastheads, book and film titles, premium packaging, and theatrical or historical poster work. It can work for larger-sized editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially when set with ample line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is stately and assertive, combining a classic, old-world seriousness with a touch of theatrical drama. Its flared terminals and sharp detailing evoke engraved or stone-carved lettering, lending a sense of tradition, gravity, and premium editorial polish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classical serif foundation, using flared terminals and high contrast to create a sculpted, engraved character. It prioritizes display impact and an authoritative editorial voice over neutral text economy.
Spacing appears relatively tight at display sizes, increasing density and impact in lines of text; the strong contrast and pointed terminals make it most comfortable with generous leading and careful tracking. Diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are crisp and energetic, adding a slightly aggressive edge to an otherwise traditional serif voice.
