A very heavy serif with sharply tapered, flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that create a sculpted, chiseled silhouette. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick verticals and noticeably finer hairlines, while curves (C, G, O) stay compact and controlled. The lowercase is compact with sturdy bowls and tight apertures; forms like a, e, and s lean toward wedge-like joins and pointed terminals, giving a crisp, engraved rhythm. Numerals are bold and stylized, with the 2 and 3 showing pronounced triangular cuts and the 8 built from weighty, compact counters.
Best suited to display settings where impact and character are desired—headlines, magazine titles, posters, packaging, and branding. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where the bold, high-contrast texture is an advantage.
The overall tone is commanding and editorial, with a classic, print-forward gravitas. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling add drama and a slightly theatrical edge, making text feel deliberate and emphatic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with extra punch: flared, tapered terminals and sharp modeling that amplify contrast and presence. It prioritizes dramatic texture and strong typographic color for attention-grabbing display typography.
In the sample text, the dense weight and tight internal spaces create strong word shapes and high presence, but counters and apertures can close up as sizes get smaller. The angular joins and flared endings give the face a distinctive texture that reads as crafted and intentional, especially in headings.
