A heavy, high-contrast serif with tapered, flared terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give strokes a chiseled, sculptural feel. Curves are broad and smooth while joins and terminals snap to crisp points, creating a lively rhythm between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide in key letters, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and compact counters; overall spacing reads firm and deliberate, with strong color on the page.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and magazine or book-cover typography where its strong contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also serve for short-to-medium passages in print-forward editorial layouts, especially when paired with simpler supporting type.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting confidence and gravitas with a slightly theatrical sharpness from its pointed terminals. It feels bookish and authoritative rather than minimalist, suited to contexts where classic serif personality and impact are desired.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with energetic, flared stroke endings to produce a classic yet attention-getting voice. It emphasizes strong typographic color and distinctive terminals for branding and editorial impact while keeping letterforms conventional enough for straightforward reading.
Several characters show distinctive, wedge-like finishing strokes and subtle inward notches that reinforce a hand-tooled impression. Numerals are sturdy and clear, matching the weight and contrast of the text and maintaining strong presence in mixed settings.
