A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced wedge-like flares at stroke endings and sharp, triangular serifs that read almost engraved. The letterforms combine broad, rounded bowls with abrupt tapering and notched interior shaping, producing crisp, high-contrast silhouettes and a strong black presence on the page. Curves are full and smooth, while many joins and terminals cut in at angles, creating a chiseled rhythm; counters stay open despite the weight, aided by scooped apertures and small ink-trap-like cutouts in places. Numerals follow the same bold, sculpted logic, with prominent diagonals and decisive terminal flares.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, posters, mastheads, and book or album covers where its sculpted serifs and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short brand statements or packaging titles that benefit from a classic, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is formal and emphatic, with a theatrical, old-world flavor that feels at home in headlines. Its sharp wedges and carved details suggest tradition and authority, while the exaggerated weight and width add a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding display serif that blends classical proportions with more aggressive, flared, wedge-like finishing. The carved notches and angled terminals seem purpose-built to keep dense strokes legible while adding a distinctive, ornamental bite.
Texture is lively: the interplay of rounded bowls and angular cuts creates a patterned sparkle in strings of text, especially where diagonals and junctions introduce small notches. Spacing and proportions feel tuned for display sizes where the pointed serifs and interior scoops can remain distinct.
