A very heavy serif with pronounced contrast and sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read as wedge-like, bracketed serifs rather than slabs. The letterforms are broad and open, with large interior counters and a steady, upright stance. Curves are generously rounded while joins and terminals sharpen into chiseled points, creating a crisp, high-impact texture. Capitals feel monumental and stable; lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish structure with compact joins and sturdy bowls.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, poster titles, book covers, and magazine features where a bold, classic voice is desired. It can also work for branding and logotypes that benefit from a traditional serif with distinctive flared terminals, while longer copy will generally be more comfortable at larger sizes or in limited amounts.
The font conveys a confident, traditional tone with a slightly theatrical edge. Its dramatic contrast and carved terminals give it a headline-ready presence that feels authoritative, vintage-minded, and editorial.
The design appears intended to fuse a classical serif foundation with more expressive, flared terminals and strong contrast, producing a sturdy yet stylized display face. It prioritizes impact and a recognizable silhouette over neutrality, aiming for a refined but assertive presence.
The numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with strong thick–thin modulation and sharply finished terminals, producing a cohesive, display-oriented rhythm. In text settings the weight and contrast create a dark, emphatic color that favors shorter passages and larger sizes where the details can breathe.
