A heavy, high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs. The forms show strong vertical stress with tapered joins and sharp triangular spur details, giving strokes a carved, sculptural feel. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, while the rhythm remains readable thanks to clear internal shapes and decisive stroke transitions. Uppercase proportions are broad and stately; lowercase letters keep a sturdy structure with a moderate x-height and firm, slightly triangular finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, posters, and book-cover titling where the dense color and dramatic terminals can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium impression, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys an editorial, classical tone with a sense of authority and ceremony. Its sculpted serifs and dramatic contrast suggest tradition, prestige, and confident headline voice rather than casual everyday text.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional serif authority by combining wide, sturdy proportions with flared terminals and crisp, chiseled detailing. It prioritizes impact and recognizable character in display settings while maintaining structured, legible letterforms.
Distinctive wedge terminals appear across both capitals and lowercase, lending a subtly calligraphic, engraved character without becoming ornate. Numerals match the weight and contrast of the letters and read as display-oriented, with sharp, assertive curves and strong vertical emphasis.
