A sculptural serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and a chiseled, incised feel. The design relies on strong thick–thin modulation, with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes that create a punchy, poster-like color on the page. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than blocky, and many joins and terminals feel carved, with wedge-like transitions that emphasize vertical structure. Counters are relatively tight in the heavier letters, while curves remain smooth and controlled, producing a polished, high-impact rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
This font is best suited to display settings such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and book or album covers where its flared detailing and contrast can be appreciated at size. It also works well for branding and packaging that aims for a refined, classic-meets-dramatic voice, especially in short phrases and titling.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, blending classic editorial authority with a slightly vintage, engraved character. Its bold, high-drama contrast reads as confident and ceremonial, suitable for statements that want to feel intentional and premium rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dramatic contrast and sculpted, flared endings, evoking engraved or stone-cut letterforms in a contemporary display package. It prioritizes personality and authority, aiming to stand out in editorial and brand-forward contexts.
Caps feel imposing and stable, while the lowercase maintains a strong presence with compact internal space and distinctive terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, flared logic, giving them a tailored, display-forward look that matches the letterforms.
