A compact, display-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. Strokes show strong contrast, with thick verticals and finer connecting strokes, and a crisp, engraved feel in the joins. Capitals are sturdy and formal, while the lowercase keeps a relatively traditional structure with sharp, tapered entries and exits; the overall rhythm is tight and vertical. Numerals are weighty and old-style in spirit, with curved shapes and strong thick–thin modulation that matches the letters.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and pull quotes where its flared terminals and contrast can read clearly and add character. It can work well for mastheads, book or album covers, and packaging that wants a classic, premium voice with strong typographic presence.
The tone is traditional and commanding, with a slightly theatrical, engraved character that feels at home in formal or heritage contexts. Its sharp wedges and dramatic contrast convey gravitas and a sense of ceremony, while still reading as familiar and editorial.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with incised, flared detailing to create a formal, high-impact display face. It prioritizes strong silhouette and dramatic stroke endings to deliver an authoritative, timeless impression.
At larger sizes the flared stroke endings and sharp serifs become a defining texture, creating a dark, sculpted word shape. The tight proportions and dense color suggest it’s intended to hold presence in headlines and short lines rather than long, small text.
