A very heavy serif design with pronounced thick–thin contrast and distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, sculptural finish. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often sharpen into triangular points, while curves are full and weighty, producing compact counters and a dense overall color. The forms feel slightly calligraphic in the way stems swell into terminals, yet they remain upright and controlled. Numerals are robust and display-like, with rounded bowls and strong vertical emphasis that matches the letters.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks of display text where its heavy color and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for magazine mastheads, book and album covers, posters, and brand marks that need a classic yet forceful voice; in longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font conveys a confident, editorial tone—formal and attention-grabbing, with a touch of vintage print drama. Its assertive weight and sharp terminals suggest tradition and authority while remaining energetic and bold on the page.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif conventions with exaggerated, flared stroke endings for maximum impact. Its combination of high contrast, sharp wedge terminals, and dense counters suggests a deliberate focus on display authority and strong typographic personality rather than quiet, extended reading.
The rhythm is tight and impactful: heavy stems, small apertures, and strong interior shapes create high presence at large sizes. Details like pointed joins and flared endings add texture that reads as crafted rather than purely geometric, making it feel especially suited to display settings.
