A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, wedge-like terminals that create a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs read as sharp and tapered with subtle bracketing, while bowls and diagonals show strong thick–thin contrast and slightly faceted transitions. Proportions skew broad with roomy counters; curves are full and weighty, and joins often pinch into narrow waists that heighten the contrast. The overall rhythm is upright and steady, with assertive caps and robust numerals built from the same dramatic modulation.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, covers, and identity work where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for pull quotes and short editorial passages when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height, allowing its flared details and contrast to remain clear.
The font communicates a confident, editorial voice with a theatrical edge—formal and classic, but not quiet. Its bold presence and sharp, flaring details suggest sophistication and ceremony, lending a slightly vintage, poster-like character to headlines and short statements.
Likely designed as a bold, attention-grabbing serif that merges classical proportions with flared, calligraphic terminals to produce a refined yet forceful display texture. The intent appears to be strong impact with a distinctive, sculptural silhouette rather than neutral text performance.
Text samples show high visual color and strong word shapes, but the intense contrast and tapered terminals make it feel most at home at larger sizes. The ampersand and punctuation carry the same angular, wedge-driven logic, reinforcing the cohesive, carved look.
