A very heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at stroke terminals and a distinctly sculpted, incised-like construction. Stems appear to swell and taper into wedge-shaped endings rather than finishing with flat slabs, and many joins show sharp, knife-like transitions that emphasize the contrast between thick and thin. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the overall width is generous, giving capitals a broad, imposing stance. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, upright rhythm with compact apertures and strong vertical emphasis, while figures are bold and blocky with clear contrast and flared finishing strokes.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the flared terminals and high-contrast shaping can be appreciated—headlines, posters, mastheads, packaging, and cover typography. It can work for short editorial callouts or display subheads, but its dense weight and tight counters make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The font projects a confident, poster-like presence with a classic, slightly dramatic tone. Its carved, flaring terminals suggest a traditional, crafted sensibility, making it feel ceremonial and attention-commanding rather than casual or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classical serif voice, combining wide proportions and sculptural flare to create a dramatic, engraved display presence. It prioritizes silhouette, contrast, and terminal shape for strong recognition in branding and headline contexts.
At text sizes the dense color and tight interior spaces can read as compact and forceful, while at larger sizes the sharp tapers and flared terminals become the main character. The silhouette is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified, headline-oriented texture.
