A heavyweight serif with pronounced contrast and strongly sculpted, flared stroke endings. Stems finish in wedge-like, bracketed terminals that create a chiseled, almost carved rhythm, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Curves show taut transitions from thick to thin, and several joins and apertures hint at ink-trap-like cut-ins that add bite and texture. Proportions read broad and stable, with compact, sturdy serifs and a bold overall color that holds together in large settings.
Best suited to headlines, editorial display, event posters, book or magazine titling, and bold branding where a dramatic serif texture is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis in packaging and labels, especially where a classic-yet-punchy look helps content stand out.
The tone is assertive and old-world, evoking classic print traditions with a slightly theatrical, poster-like punch. Its sharp wedges and swelling terminals add drama and ceremony, giving it a headline voice that feels confident and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding display serif with a flared, sculptural finish—combining traditional serif cues with punchy contrast and distinctive wedge terminals to create instant impact at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms feel especially monumental, with strong verticals and crisp, triangular finishing strokes; the italic is not shown and the overall stance appears straight and formal. The numerals match the same carved contrast and terminal treatment, keeping a consistent, display-forward texture across letters and figures.
