A sculpted display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, flared stroke endings. The serifs read as wedge-like and often softly bracketed, creating a carved, inscriptional feel rather than a blunt slab. Capitals are broad and stately, with strong vertical stress and crisp terminals; the lowercase shows rounded bowls and compact joins that keep counters open despite the heavy weight. Numerals are similarly weighty and high-contrast, with clear interior spaces and assertive top/bottom terminals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, posters, book or album covers, and brand marks that need a strong, classic voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging copy when used at generous sizes and with comfortable leading to preserve the crisp high-contrast details.
The overall tone is bold and ceremonial, evoking classical print and engraved letterforms. Its sharp contrast and flared finishes add drama and a slightly theatrical, vintage-leaning sophistication that feels at home in headline-driven design.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through strong contrast and flared, chiseled terminals, borrowing from inscriptional and transitional serif cues for a refined but forceful presence. It prioritizes character and silhouette for titles and branding over neutral, long-form text behavior.
Spacing in the sample text suggests a dense, impactful rhythm, where the dark strokes and tapered terminals create lively texture across lines. The design’s angular cuts and pronounced modulation make it most visually distinctive at larger sizes, where the flares and hairline transitions are easier to appreciate.
