A very heavy, high-contrast serif with flared stroke endings and sharp wedge-like terminals that create a carved, sculptural feel. Stems often swell into the terminals, while joins taper abruptly, producing pointed interior notches and crisp corners. Curves are broad and taut, with compact counters that heighten the dark color on the page, and spacing feels intentionally tight for a bold, poster-ready rhythm. The overall drawing mixes classical serif proportions with exaggerated, angular cut-ins that emphasize contour and silhouette.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared terminals, sharp cut-ins, and contrast can be appreciated—such as headlines, display typography, book and album covers, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section openers, but its dense color and stylization make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is theatrical and commanding, with a vintage editorial flavor that reads as premium and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian. Its sharp flares and punchy contrast suggest headline drama—confident, slightly ornate, and stylized—while still staying recognizable and structured.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful serif with a modernized flare-and-wedge terminal system, prioritizing silhouette and impact. By combining classical serif structure with sharpened, sculpted details, it aims to feel both refined and attention-grabbing in display contexts.
Uppercase forms show strong vertical presence and pronounced terminal shaping, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, compact texture with noticeable contrast and distinct entry/exit shaping. Numerals are equally weighty and display-like, matching the sharp terminal language and maintaining a cohesive, high-impact texture in lines of text.
