A sturdy display serif with pronounced stroke modulation and distinctive flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like serif endings. The letterforms are upright with broad, stable proportions and a strong horizontal emphasis, producing a compact, weighty silhouette. Counters are moderately open, while joins and terminals show crisp shaping that can read as slightly carved or ink-trap-like in places. Numerals match the typographic color with bold, confident forms suited to attention-grabbing settings.
Best suited to headlines, large editorial typography, and branding where a forceful serif voice is needed. It can work for short blocks of text or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, and it pairs well with restrained layouts that let its flared details and contrast carry the visual identity.
The font conveys an editorial, authoritative tone—confident and traditional, but with enough edge in its flared details to feel dramatic and contemporary in headlines. Its heavy presence and sharp terminal behavior give it a commanding, poster-ready voice that still nods to classic book and newspaper typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold typographic color and distinctive flared terminals, combining traditional serif structure with a more sculpted, attention-forward finish. It aims to feel authoritative and legible at display sizes while offering a recognizable, characterful silhouette.
In text lines, the spacing and rhythm feel solid and continuous, creating a dark, emphatic typographic color. The flaring at stroke ends and the crisp, sculpted curves are the defining signature, giving the face a slightly engraved, crafted character compared to more conventional serifs.
