A very heavy display serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden into sharp triangular serifs. The contrast is high, pairing thick main stems with hairline joins and cuts that create crisp interior corners. Forms feel carved and angular rather than rounded, with tight apertures and confident curves in bowls; the overall rhythm is punchy and uneven in a deliberate, headline-oriented way. Numerals and capitals are particularly weighty, with strong vertical stress and sharp finishing strokes that read cleanly at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its sharp flares and dense weight can be appreciated. It works well for editorial display, book or album covers, event branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic-yet-dramatic serif presence. For long body copy it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is bold and authoritative with an old-world, engraved flavor. It suggests tradition and ceremony, but with enough sharpness and weight to feel theatrical and attention-grabbing. Overall it projects confidence, gravitas, and a slightly gothic or vintage editorial mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif voice with sculpted, flaring stroke endings that add drama and a sense of craft. Its high-contrast construction and pointed terminals emphasize impact, making it a characterful option for display typography that needs to feel established and commanding.
The lowercase shows distinctive wedge cuts and pointed terminals (notably in letters like a, g, j, r, and t), giving text a textured, chiseled pattern. Spacing and shapes prioritize impact over smooth paragraph color, making the design feel best when given room to breathe.
