A high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring on vertical stems and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that broaden into the stroke endings. The design leans wide with generous internal counters and a strong thick–thin rhythm; hairlines are crisp and minimal while main strokes are weighty and sculpted. Curves are full and smooth, with terminals that often end in sharp, slightly sheared points, giving many letters a chiseled, calligraphic edge. Overall spacing reads open at display sizes, and the figures and capitals carry a heavy, poster-like presence.
Best used for headlines, magazine titling, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where strong contrast and wide proportions can breathe. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a classic-but-bold voice, particularly where a dramatic serif can carry the identity on its own. For longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The font projects a confident, theatrical tone—classic in structure but amplified for impact. Its sharp flares and stark contrast create a sense of grandeur and formality, while the wide proportions and sculpted terminals add drama and swagger. The result feels well suited to attention-grabbing, statement typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction through flared, sculpted stroke endings and exaggerated contrast for maximum visual impact. Its wide stance and chiseled terminals suggest a focus on display readability and a premium, attention-forward look in titles and branding.
The lowercase shows a sturdy, display-oriented build with compact joins and emphatic terminals, and the punctuation/dots appear bold enough to hold up within dense settings. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and flared logic, reading especially strong in larger sizes where the hairlines and wedge serifs remain distinct.
