A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and a strongly modeled, calligraphic stress. Stems and serifs show noticeable flaring and soft bracketing, giving the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than a mechanical slab look. Curves feature teardrop-like joins and occasional ball terminals, while counters stay generous enough to keep forms open at display sizes. The overall rhythm is assertive and slightly irregular in a natural way, with crisp verticals and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine and newspaper-style headlines, cover titles, pull quotes, and poster work where strong contrast and flared serifs add character. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a classic, premium tone, especially when set with ample spacing and generous line height.
The font conveys a bold, editorial seriousness with a touch of old-style warmth. Its dramatic contrast and flared endings feel classical and authoritative, suggesting print-era refinement while still reading as punchy and attention-grabbing in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, combining pronounced thick–thin contrast with flared, bracketed finishing to create a robust, print-forward display texture. It prioritizes presence and personality over neutrality, aiming to feel both refined and forceful.
In the sample text, the dark color and tight internal detailing make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the contrast, bracketing, and terminal shapes can be appreciated without filling in. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, sculptural presence, supporting strong typographic hierarchy.
