A robust serif with broad proportions and noticeably flared stroke endings that transition into wedge-like, bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear modulation, with heavy verticals and thinner joins and hairlines, giving the letters a sculpted, engraved feel rather than a purely geometric build. Curves are generous but controlled, counters are relatively open for the weight, and many terminals finish with sharp, slightly beaked or triangular cuts that add bite. The lowercase reads large against the caps, and the overall rhythm is compact and dense, emphasizing dark color and strong word shapes in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and editorial settings where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It can work well for book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that need a classic but forceful voice. In longer text, it will read most comfortably with generous line spacing to balance its dark color and sharp details.
The tone is commanding and traditional, with a slightly theatrical edge created by the sharp terminals and flared endings. It feels bookish and editorial, suggesting heritage and ceremony more than casual friendliness. The strong contrast and emphatic serifs add a sense of gravity suited to prominent, declarative typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif construction with pronounced flaring and sharpened terminals, creating a display-capable serif that still retains strong text rhythms. Its large lowercase presence and sturdy capitals suggest a focus on impactful reading at moderate-to-large sizes.
Numerals and capitals carry a carved, high-impact presence, and the punctuation and dots appear as strong, diamond-like forms that reinforce the angular motif. The forms maintain consistent weight and flare behavior across the set, keeping the texture cohesive even at larger sizes.
