A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and strongly sculpted joins. Thick verticals are paired with hairline-like connecting strokes, while many stroke endings widen into subtle flares and bracketed serifs, giving the letters a carved, chiseled feel. Curves are robust and weighty, counters are relatively tight, and the overall texture reads dark and emphatic. The lowercase shows pronounced, lively terminals—especially in a, g, y, and z—creating a slightly calligraphic rhythm without leaning or italics.
Best suited to titles and short-to-medium passages where strong contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated—magazine covers, poster headlines, branding wordmarks, and premium packaging. It can work for pull quotes or deck text when generous spacing and size preserve its fine strokes and tight counters.
The face conveys a confident, headline-forward tone with a hint of vintage drama. Its sharp contrast and flared finishes feel ceremonial and editorial, suggesting prestige and impact rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact serif voice that feels traditional yet stylized, using flared endings and strong contrast to create a distinctive, display-oriented texture.
In text settings the dense color and narrow apertures can create a compact, high-impact block, while the distinctive terminals and flares add character at larger sizes. Numerals and caps share the same sculpted contrast, supporting a cohesive display voice across letters and figures.
