A dark, assertive serif with compact proportions and crisp, flared stroke endings. Stems carry a mostly even thickness but widen into sharp, beak-like terminals, creating triangular cuts and wedge-shaped serifs that read clearly in both capitals and lowercase. The curves are full and weighty, with counters kept relatively tight, and the joins and diagonals stay clean and decisive. Overall rhythm is sturdy and deliberate, balancing strong verticals with pointed finishing details that add texture without becoming ornate.
Best suited to display settings where its strong color and flared details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book and album covers, mastheads, and identity work. It can also function for short passages or pull quotes when a bold, traditional voice is desired, but will feel heaviest and most characterful at larger sizes.
The tone feels medieval-meets-editorial: formal and authoritative, yet slightly theatrical due to the sharp flares and chiseled silhouette. It suggests tradition, institutions, and old-world craft, with a storybook or heraldic edge that can also read as classic signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra personality: a robust text-to-display hybrid that adds a chiseled, historical flavor through flared terminals and pointed serif forms while maintaining clear letter differentiation.
The numerals and punctuation match the same wedge-terminal logic, giving a cohesive, carved-in-stone impression. At text sizes the dense color and tight counters create a strong typographic presence, while larger sizes highlight the distinctive pointed terminals and angular serif shapes.
