A sculptural serif with pronounced contrast and crisp, triangular wedge-like terminals that flare as strokes meet their endings. The overall color is dense and authoritative, with broad capitals and compact, energetic joins that create a lively rhythm in text. Serifs are sharp and angular rather than slabby, and many curves resolve into pointed beaks and spur-like details (notably in C/G/S and the diagonal letters). Lowercase forms keep a traditional skeleton with sturdy bowls and short, decisive finishing strokes, giving the design a carved, display-oriented presence.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its sharp wedges and contrast can read cleanly: magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book or album covers, poster titles, premium branding, and packaging. It can work for brief pull quotes or deck lines, but its dense color and stylized terminals are most effective when given space and size.
The font conveys a bold, ceremonial tone—equal parts classical and theatrical. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modulation suggest heritage and prestige while still feeling punchy and attention-grabbing, making it read as confident and headline-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama: a traditional underpinning pushed into a bolder, more sculpted form through flared terminals, pointed details, and emphatic contrast for high-impact typography.
In the samples, spacing appears intentionally tight for impact, and the strong contrast makes counters and apertures feel dramatic. The numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with distinctive wedges and pronounced weight shifts that help them match the letterforms in prominent settings.
