A very heavy, high-contrast serif with prominent flared terminals and sharply shaped, bracketed serifs. The letterforms have broad proportions and a sturdy, upright stance, with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines that taper into triangular beaks and wedges. Curves are full and weighty (notably in O, Q, and the bowls of b/p), while joins and counters are tightened for punch, creating a slightly sculpted, carved look. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with compact apertures and distinct, chunky stems, and the numerals match the same emphatic contrast and wedge-ended detailing.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, magazine layouts, advertising, and brand marks where its high contrast and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and titling applications that want a classic, authoritative voice with strong visual impact.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a refined, old-world formality that reads as premium and attention-grabbing. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast lend a sense of authority and spectacle, balancing classic elegance with a contemporary, poster-like intensity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through extreme weight and contrast while retaining a traditional serif pedigree. The flared stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like serifs suggest a deliberate focus on dramatic silhouettes and editorial polish rather than quiet, small-size text neutrality.
In text, the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a dark typographic color and a rhythmic, chiseled texture. The Q’s sweeping tail and the beaked terminals across many letters become signature features at display sizes, while the small apertures suggest it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing when set in longer passages.
