A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs. Stems and joins show a chiseled, swelling rhythm—straight verticals feel weighty while curves pinch and flare, creating crisp interior counters and sharp transitions. The proportions read generously wide, with compact aperture handling in letters like C, S, and e, and a distinctly carved look in diagonals and joins. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same bold, sculptural logic, with rounded forms staying tight and dark for strong color on the line.
Best suited to display settings where its sculpted contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, editorial titles, posters, and book or album covers. It can also work for branding elements such as mastheads and packaging where a bold, formal presence is desired.
The overall tone is confident and attention-grabbing, with an old-style, engraved sensibility that feels both classic and theatrical. Its strong contrast and flared finishes give it a ceremonious, authoritative voice suited to statements and headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold structure, carved contrast, and expressive flaring at terminals, evoking traditional serif craftsmanship while remaining optimized for modern display typography.
At text sizes the dense stroke weight produces a dark typographic color, while the flared endings and pinched joins add sparkle and texture. The italic is not shown, and the displayed style reads as a single, upright design with prominent finishing details.
