A strong, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Vertical stems are weighty while joins and curves taper decisively, creating a rhythmic alternation of thick and thin across the line. The letters show compact, sturdy bowls and pronounced triangular/bracketed details (notably in forms like a, e, s, and z), giving the texture a chiseled, display-forward presence. Numerals follow the same bold, flared construction with clear, classic silhouettes suited to headline settings.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headers, book and album covers, posters, and identity work where a bold, classic voice is needed. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but its dense color and sharp detailing suggest using it at comfortable sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining old-style warmth with a punchy, theatrical edge. Its flared, sharpened endings add a ceremonial, heritage feel while the heavy dark color keeps the voice modern and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver a commanding display serif that blends traditional letterform cues with distinctive flared terminals and high-contrast modeling. The intent appears to be maximum impact and recognizable character, prioritizing silhouette, texture, and headline presence over quiet neutrality.
At larger sizes the crisp inner counters and angular cut-ins become a defining feature, producing a lively, patterned texture. The wide stance and strong serifs emphasize horizontal momentum, making it feel especially at home in short lines and tightly composed titles.
