A heavy, wide serif with pronounced stroke contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that read as partly incised. Serifs are sharply bracketed and often beaked, with clear triangular transitions where stems meet the baseline and cap line. Round letters show deep, pinched joins and lively interior shaping, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) end in pointed, blade-like feet. Lowercase forms are robust and compact, with distinct teardrop/ball-like dots and a strong, sculpted rhythm across text.
This design excels in display typography such as magazine headlines, posters, and book-cover titles where its sculpted serifs and wide stance can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of editorial text, pull quotes, and branding applications that want a classical yet attention-grabbing voice.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, combining a classic bookish gravity with a slightly theatrical, carved-stone flair. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modeling give it an authoritative, editorial feel that commands attention in headlines.
The font appears designed to reinterpret traditional serif construction through flared, chiseled terminals and dramatic contrast, aiming for a stately, engraved impression with strong presence at larger sizes.
Counters are relatively tight in several letters, which increases density and impact in display sizes. Numerals follow the same flared, sculpted logic with strong horizontals and pronounced terminal shaping, keeping the set cohesive across mixed text and figures.
