A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that give the forms a carved, sculptural feel. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, O, S, and the bowl letters), while verticals stay authoritative and steady, producing a confident, poster-ready rhythm. The capitals are broad with ample interior counters, and the lowercase shows compact, sturdy construction with clear differentiation between bowls, stems, and joins; the overall texture is dark but not clogged. Figures follow the same flared logic, with open, readable shapes and a mix of straight and curved strokes that keeps the set lively in text.
Best suited for display contexts where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book and magazine covers, and identity work. It can also serve for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a bold, classical voice is desired, though its strong stroke modulation will read most clearly at moderate to large sizes.
The tone is stately and editorial, evoking traditional print typography with a touch of theatrical drama. Its weight and contrast lend a sense of authority and ceremony, while the flared terminals add warmth and a subtly calligraphic elegance rather than a purely mechanical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added presence and movement through flared stroke endings and strong contrast. It prioritizes a confident, print-forward texture and distinctive letter silhouettes that hold up in impactful typographic settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a strong baseline and consistent color, with distinctive silhouette changes at terminals that create a lively rhythm at larger sizes. The deep joins and pronounced stroke modulation make it especially characterful in headlines, while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
