A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and sharp wedge-like serifs. Vertical stems read robust and confident, while hairlines and joins taper quickly, creating a pronounced light–dark rhythm. Curves are compact and tightly drawn, with strong bracketing that smooths transitions into the serifs. Counters are moderately small and the overall texture is dense, giving the face a punchy, poster-ready presence while maintaining a traditional serif structure.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book and album covers, and branding marks where the strong contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial subheads and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the crisp joins and tapered strokes remain clear.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative tone with a slightly theatrical edge. Its emphatic contrast and flared finishing details suggest heritage editorial typography—confident, formal, and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra visual impact, using flared terminals and steep contrast to heighten drama and improve presence in display typography.
Round letters and figures show crisp interior shaping and tapered strokes that keep the heavy weight from feeling blunt. The lowercase includes sturdy, upright forms with pronounced terminals, and the numerals match the same high-contrast, old-style-leaning sensibility for cohesive display use.
