A high-contrast display serif with flared stems and wedge-like terminals that give many strokes an incised, chiseled feel. The serifs are sharp and angular rather than bracketed, and the joins often resolve into pointed beaks and triangular cuts, creating a crisp, faceted texture. Proportions are relatively broad, with generous counters and prominent vertical stress that reads strongly at headline sizes. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure but add distinctive terminal shaping (notably in a, f, g, r, and s), while numerals follow the same bold, sculpted rhythm with pronounced thick–thin transitions.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, and book or album covers where a bold, classical voice is needed. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a carved, heritage-leaning feel, and for short pull quotes or section headers where its sharp terminals and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing classical gravitas with a slightly gothic, poster-like bite. Its sharp wedges and carved details convey tradition and authority while still feeling attention-grabbing and stylized.
The likely intention is to deliver a commanding, traditional serif voice with a carved, flared-stem character—prioritizing impact and distinctive texture over neutrality. The wedge terminals and incised shaping suggest a display-oriented interpretation of classic serif construction meant to stand out in large sizes.
The design’s angular details create strong word-shape and a lively texture in paragraphs, but the pointed terminals and extreme contrast make it feel most at home as a display face. The uppercase set is especially monumental, with crisp apexes and emphatic terminal cuts that read as deliberately crafted rather than neutral.
