A heavy display serif with pronounced stroke contrast and wedge-like, flaring terminals that create a carved, sculptural feel. The forms are mostly upright with broad proportions, large counters, and strong thick–thin transitions that read crisply at headline sizes. Serifs and terminals often taper to sharp points or expand into angled wedges, while curves show a slightly calligraphic modulation that gives the letters a dynamic, engraved rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, poster titles, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and flared details can stay clear. It can also work for short, emphatic blocks of text in packaging or promotional materials, especially where a classic-but-expressive serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, balancing classical letterform cues with a showy, high-impact presence. It feels authoritative and editorial, with a slightly vintage, poster-like confidence that draws attention quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through exaggerated contrast and flared, wedge-like endings—evoking traditional serif construction while amplifying it for display use. The goal seems to be a distinctive, memorable texture in words, combining formal structure with dramatic, attention-grabbing terminals.
The font’s personality comes through in its distinctive flared endings and the interplay of heavy vertical masses against thin hairlines, producing a lively texture in words. Numerals and capitals appear especially imposing, while lowercase maintains the same high-contrast logic, helping long headlines keep a consistent, punchy cadence.
