A very heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at terminals and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes swell into ends rather than stopping bluntly, creating a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm; curves are full and round while joins often show sharp, slightly sheared transitions. Counters are moderately tight and the overall color is dense, with capital forms showing broad, stable proportions and the lowercase maintaining a sturdy, upright structure with clear two-storey a and g. Figures are weighty and formal, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp contrast that reads best when given space.
Best suited to headlines, large-format editorial typography, and statement text where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It works well for posters, book covers, and branding that aims for a classic, high-impact serif presence rather than quiet body copy.
The font projects a confident, traditional voice with a theatrical edge. Its dramatic contrast and flared finishing details feel ceremonious and institutional, lending a sense of prestige and seriousness while still appearing lively and expressive in large settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened drama through strong contrast and flared stroke endings. It prioritizes a distinctive, authoritative texture and a sculpted silhouette for impactful display use.
In the text sample the heavy weight and compact apertures create a bold texture that can darken quickly in paragraphs; it benefits from generous tracking and leading for longer passages. The distinctive flared terminals and wedge serifs are consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving headlines a cohesive, carved look.
