A sculpted serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a strong interplay of thick verticals and tapered joins. The letterforms show sharp wedge-like serifs, compact interior counters, and slightly cupped curves that give strokes a chiseled, carved quality. Round letters (like O/C) feel taut and oval, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are crisp with pointed joins and pronounced tapering. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with a single-storey a, a firm, short-armed r, and a tall, clean i/j with round dots; numerals are weighty with distinctive wedge terminals and tight apertures.
Best suited to display work where its flared serifs and crisp contrast can be appreciated—headlines, magazine covers, cultural posters, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a strong, classic voice is desired, though the dense color suggests larger sizes and generous spacing for comfort.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining classic bookish cues with a more theatrical, high-impact presence. It reads as refined and formal, but with enough sharpness and flare to feel dramatic rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through flared, wedge-like terminals and tightly shaped counters, creating a stately but more sculptural, attention-forward texture. It prioritizes presence and character in display typography while retaining familiar, classical proportions.
The rhythm is dense and deliberate, with relatively tight counters and emphatic stroke endings that create strong black shapes at display sizes. In the text sample, the heavy color and pointed terminals make the texture lively and attention-grabbing, especially in all-caps settings.
