A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and flared terminals that broaden at stroke ends. The letterforms are wide and strongly modeled, with compact counters and a crisp thick–thin rhythm that reads clearly even at large sizes. Curves are full and slightly softened, while joins and terminals show a carved, sculptural treatment that gives the shapes a sturdy, display-forward presence. Figures are similarly weighty and wide, with bold bowls and small apertures that maintain a consistent color across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where its bold contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated—such as posters, editorial mastheads, book covers, and impactful packaging. It can also work for large-size pull quotes or section openers where a strong typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is commanding and stately, combining classical serif cues with a more theatrical, poster-like intensity. Its strong contrast and flared endings lend a crafted, authoritative feel that suggests tradition, confidence, and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif authority with extra visual punch, using flared stroke endings, wide proportions, and emphatic contrast to create a distinctive display texture. It prioritizes impact and presence over neutral text economy, aiming for confident, high-visibility typography.
In the sample text, the dense stroke weight and narrow internal spaces create a dark, cohesive texture, with a slightly “inked” impression at tight joins and terminals. The width and strong serifs amplify horizontal presence, making the type feel expansive and attention-grabbing.
