A sculptural, high-contrast serif with pronounced flared terminals that read like wedge-cut serifs rather than flat slabs. Stems swell into sharp, triangular endings, and curves are full and weighty, creating a strong black footprint with crisp internal counters. The design keeps an upright stance with slightly condensed-feeling joins and tight apertures in letters like S and e, while round forms (O, Q, 8, 9) stay generously bulbous. Numerals echo the same contrast and flare, with pointed entry/exit strokes that give the figures a carved, poster-like presence.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its distinctive flared terminals can be appreciated—editorial titles, posters, book covers, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging and pull quotes, especially when set with comfortable spacing and ample size.
The font conveys an assertive, old-world confidence—part bookish classicism, part theatrical display. Its dramatic contrast and chiseled flares suggest tradition, ceremony, and headline authority, while the energetic terminals add a touch of vintage showmanship.
The design appears intended to modernize classic serif authority with a more carved, expressive terminal treatment, delivering strong impact and a memorable silhouette. Its consistent flare motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive display typography that stays legible while feeling ceremonially bold.
At larger sizes the sharp flares and strong contrast become a defining texture, producing a rhythmic pattern of pointed endings across words. In denser settings, the heavy lowercases and tight counters can darken quickly, so breathing room in tracking and line spacing helps preserve clarity.
