A sculptural serif with pronounced contrast and strongly modeled terminals. Strokes swell into flared joins and bracketed serifs, creating wedge-like feet and tapered, pointed entries that feel carved rather than mechanical. Capitals are broad-shouldered and compactly proportioned, with crisp apexes and a firm baseline; rounds (C, O, Q) show a tight, controlled curve with a sharp, angled finish. The lowercase has a steady, moderately sized x-height and chunky, high-contrast details—single-storey forms like “a” and “g” read clearly, while stems and bowls carry a consistent, weighty rhythm. Numerals are robust and old-style-leaning in feel, with curved strokes and sharp, serifed terminals that match the letterforms’ sculpted texture.
Best suited to headlines, cover typography, and editorial display where its sculpted contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a classic, authoritative voice, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the sharp terminals and bracketed serifs remain crisp.
The overall tone is formal and confident, with a classic, bookish gravity and a slightly dramatic, poster-like presence. Its flared strokes and sharpened terminals add a historical, engraved character that reads as refined and assertive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with expressive, flared stroke shaping, producing a bold display serif that feels carved and ceremonial. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and high-impact texture for titling rather than quiet, text-first neutrality.
Spacing appears generous enough for large settings, and the strong internal shapes keep counters open despite the heavy color. The font’s distinctive flared endings and pointed joins are the main identifying traits, giving it a cohesive, ornamental rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
