A very heavy, high-contrast serif with compact proportions and sharply tapered joins that swell into flared, wedge-like stroke endings. Serifs are short and forceful, often bracketed into the stems, with a mix of pointed, beak-like terminals and occasional ball terminals in the lowercase. Curves are generously rounded but cut with crisp transitions, producing a lively rhythm and noticeable texture in paragraphs; counters stay open despite the weight, and diagonals and bowls show pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Best suited to display settings where its strong contrast and flared endings can be appreciated—headlines, cover typography, mastheads, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when generous size and spacing are available to keep the texture from feeling dense.
The font projects a bold, old-style gravitas with a distinctly editorial, poster-ready punch. Its emphatic terminals and sculpted contrast add a dramatic, slightly vintage voice that feels authoritative and theatrical rather than neutral.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif foundation, combining traditional forms with sculpted, flared terminals for a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture. The intent reads as a display serif that feels historical and crafted, while staying clear and legible at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and monumental, while the lowercase adds more idiosyncratic movement through angled terminals and rounded finishing details, creating a dynamic color across lines. Numerals appear equally weighty and stylized, matching the serif language and contrast for cohesive headline use.
