A heavy serif with pronounced contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden as strokes end. Serifs are sharply cut yet subtly bracketed, giving corners a carved, wedge-like feel rather than a purely rectangular finish. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins and crotches show crisp, ink-trap-like notches that add bite at display sizes. The lowercase features a single-storey “a” and a compact, sturdy rhythm with sturdy verticals and decisive, tapered diagonals.
Best suited for display typography where weight, contrast, and distinctive flared serifs can be appreciated—headlines, cover lines, mastheads, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where a strong, classic voice is desired and tight spacing can be managed.
The overall tone is emphatic and traditional, combining old-style gravitas with a punchy, poster-ready presence. Its sharp terminals and dramatic stress lend a confident, slightly theatrical voice suited to assertive messaging and heritage-leaning branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, classical serif impression with sculptural terminals and high-contrast modulation for maximum impact. Its forms prioritize presence and character in large sizes while maintaining recognizable, traditional letter structures.
Capitals read broad and steady, with strong horizontal bars and distinctive angled beaks on characters like E/F/T. The numerals are weighty and highly legible, with bold curves and clear figure shapes that hold up well in headlines. In text blocks, the dense color and strong stroke modulation make it feel more at home in short settings than in extended reading.
