A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and sharply modeled joins. The letterforms combine broad, dark vertical masses with thin hairlines and wedge-like, beaked terminals that create a sculpted, incised feel. Serifs are energetic and often triangular, with bracketed transitions that read as carved rather than purely geometric. Rounded letters show deep modulation and occasional ball-like terminals (notably in the S and several lowercase forms), while diagonals and cross-strokes stay crisp and narrow. Overall spacing feels sturdy and compact, producing dense, emphatic word shapes in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, mastheads, book covers, posters, and branding where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially in editorial and cultural contexts, but will feel visually dominant in longer passages.
The font projects a bold, theatrical tone with a traditional, bookish backbone. Its dramatic contrast and flared terminals suggest ceremony and gravitas, while the rounded terminals add a slightly playful, vintage flourish. The overall voice feels assertive and attention-seeking, suited to statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended as a display serif that modernizes a classical, engraved sensibility through exaggerated contrast and assertive flared terminals. It prioritizes strong silhouette and ornamental finishing to create memorable wordmarks and impactful titling.
Uppercase forms are commanding and sculptural, with distinctive wedge terminals on letters like E, F, T, V, W, and Z that amplify the flared motif. The lowercase shows strong personality—single-storey a and g, a pronounced ear on g, and teardrop-like dots on i/j—helping it remain expressive at display sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and contrasty, designed to hold their own alongside caps in headline settings.
