A high-contrast serif with pronounced swelling at stroke endings and strongly flared, wedge-like serifs that give the outlines a sculpted, chiseled feel. Thick verticals dominate while hairlines are extremely fine, creating crisp light–dark rhythm and a slightly calligraphic tension in curves and joins. Counters are relatively compact in many letters, and the overall texture is dense and emphatic, with pointed apexes, sharp beak-like terminals on some forms, and bracketed transitions that feel carved rather than purely geometric.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its high contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated. It can work well for editorial packaging, book and magazine covers, event posters, and branding that calls for a classic, authoritative voice with display-level impact.
The tone is stately and theatrical, combining old-style gravitas with a display-driven punch. Its sharp contrast and flared endings read as refined and ceremonial, projecting confidence and formality while still feeling expressive and crafted.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction through exaggerated contrast and flared stroke endings, producing a distinctive, high-impact text color for display typography. Its forms balance classic proportions with sharpened terminals and sculptural transitions to create a memorable, premium-facing presence.
In the sample text the heavy stems and narrow internal spaces make color build quickly, favoring larger sizes and generous tracking. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence, and the distinctive flared finish on many strokes becomes a key identifying motif in headlines.
