A very heavy, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered joins and pronounced wedge-like terminals that flare out from the stems. Curves show strong modulation, with teardrop/ball endings appearing on several lowercase forms, giving the design a sculpted, chiseled feel. Counters are generally compact and the overall rhythm is punchy, with crisp triangular notches and angled cuts that add sparkle at display sizes. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and formal, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement and idiosyncratic, flared finishing strokes.
Best used for display typography such as headlines, poster titles, magazine mastheads, and book or album covers. It can also serve well in branding and packaging where an emphatic, classic-meets-flamboyant voice is needed, while extended small-size reading text may feel heavy without careful spacing.
The tone is bold and theatrical, blending classic bookish authority with a slightly playful, old-world flourish. It feels suited to statements and headlines where a strong personality and historical echo are desirable.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif foundation, using flared terminals and strong contrast to create a distinctive, decorative silhouette. The goal appears to be an expressive display face that remains recognizable and structured, even at very bold weights.
In text settings the dense weight and tight inner spaces create a dark color on the page, so it visually prefers larger sizes and generous spacing. The mix of sharp wedges and rounded terminals creates a distinctive texture that stands out in brand marks and short phrases.
