A high-contrast serif with strongly flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms feel broad and stable, with crisp, triangular serifs and tapered joins that create a chiseled, sculptural rhythm. Bowls are generous and rounded, while many corners and stroke endings resolve into sharp points, producing an assertive, ink-trap-free silhouette. Lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact counters and a slightly calligraphic, engraved finish; numerals and capitals read especially forceful in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and flared serifs can read clearly—headlines, mastheads, posters, book covers, and brand marks. It can work for short editorial bursts such as pull quotes or section openers, especially when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, with a dramatic, old-world elegance. Its sharp flares and extreme contrast give it a ceremonial, poster-like presence that feels both classic and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, authoritative display voice by combining classical serif structure with exaggerated contrast and flared stroke endings. It emphasizes strong silhouettes and dramatic stroke terminations to create impact at large sizes.
In text settings the strong contrast and spiky terminals create lively texture and prominent word shapes, but the dense blacks and narrow internal spaces can make long passages feel heavy. The design’s flared endings and pointed diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and some lowercase joins) contribute to a distinctive, slightly theatrical personality.
