A heavy, wide serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly flared, tapered finish on many terminals. Stems feel sculpted rather than slabby, with bracketed serifs that widen into wedge-like endings and crisp, angular joins. Counters are compact in the heaviest letters, creating dense black shapes, while round forms (C, O, Q) maintain a strong, smooth curve. The overall rhythm is expansive with generous letter widths and clear, stable vertical stress.
Best suited to display settings where strong contrast and wide proportions can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, and mastheads in print or large digital sizes. It can also support branding and packaging where a classic, authoritative serif voice is desired, though its dense color suggests avoiding very small sizes for long passages.
The font reads as assertive and traditional, with a dramatic, poster-like weight and a refined, editorial sharpness. Its flared details and high contrast add a ceremonial, old-world tone, making the text feel confident and declarative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama: wide proportions, sculpted flaring, and crisp terminals that emphasize impact and tradition in display typography.
The lowercase shows sturdy, compact counters and sturdy bowls (a, b, d, p, q), while the s has a distinctive, sharp-curved profile that adds character in word shapes. Numerals are similarly weighty and wide, designed to match the uppercase’s strong presence.
