A heavy, high‑contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than strictly bracketed. The letterforms show a dynamic, calligraphic stress with tight, teardrop-like counters and sharp inner joins that create strong light–dark rhythm across words. Curves are full and slightly tense, while straight stems end in crisp, triangular feet and spurs that add bite to the silhouettes. Proportions lean broad and sturdy, with compact apertures and generous ink-trap-like notches in places that help keep counters open at large sizes.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, magazine and editorial titles, posters, and brand marks where its flared terminals and high contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, deck copy, packaging copy) when a forceful, premium tone is desired.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, mixing classical bookish cues with a punchy, contemporary edge. It reads as theatrical and editorial—designed to command attention—while still retaining a refined, traditional backbone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through high contrast and emphatic, flared endings, pairing classical serif structure with a more sculpted, energetic stroke language for modern display typography.
In text settings the dense color and sharp terminals create a lively texture with noticeable vertical rhythm. Capitals feel especially monumental and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains a strong, sculptural presence that favors impact over delicacy.
