A bold, high-contrast serif with strongly flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that read as sculpted rather than strictly mechanical. Stems are sturdy and upright, while hairlines and joins taper sharply, creating pronounced light/dark rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often extend into curved, beak-like corners, giving many letters a slightly calligraphic snap. Counters are relatively compact for the overall width, and the lowercase shows distinctive, swashy shaping—especially in letters like a, g, and t—adding movement within otherwise solid proportions.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short blocks of display text where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It works well for editorial typography, book and album covers, packaging, and branding that aims for a classic-yet-dramatic voice. For longer passages, it is likely most comfortable at larger text sizes and with comfortable line spacing to avoid an overly heavy texture.
The font conveys a dramatic, high-impact tone with a confident, vintage-leaning elegance. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals suggest ceremonial gravitas—more headline and display-oriented than understated or utilitarian. The overall impression is assertive and theatrical, suited to statements that want to feel established and authoritative.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with expressive, flared terminals that amplify contrast and presence. It prioritizes visual drama and distinctive silhouette over neutrality, offering a display serif that feels carved, energetic, and attention-forward.
Spacing and proportions feel deliberately generous, with wide caps and rounded forms that maintain readability while emphasizing mass. The numerals follow the same flared, wedge-terminal logic and appear built for display settings. In text samples, the boldness and contrast produce a strong texture that can become dense at smaller sizes, while larger sizes showcase the sculptural terminals and tapering joins more clearly.
