A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that read as sculpted rather than mechanical. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with ample interior counters, and the contrast is emphasized by thick main strokes against finer joins and tapered endings. Curves are full and rounded (notably in O, C, and the lowercase bowls), while many terminals finish in sharp, triangular cuts that give a chiseled, sign-like clarity. Numerals and capitals carry strong, stable silhouettes, and the lowercase maintains a sturdy rhythm with compact joins and clearly articulated serifs.
Best suited to editorial headlines, cover typography, posters, and mastheads where its dramatic serifs and sculpted contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for bold branding or packaging that needs a traditional-but-impactful voice, especially when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is bold and declarative, combining old-style seriousness with a distinctly display flavor. Its flared endings and carved terminals evoke institutional credibility—think print-era authority—while the wide stance adds a confident, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened display impact, using flared terminals and sharp wedge serifs to create strong silhouettes and a carved, print-forward texture.
In the sample text, the dense weight and strong serif activity create a dark, energetic texture that favors headlines and short blocks over extended reading. The sharp cut-ins and tapered joins add sparkle at large sizes, while the broad shapes help maintain character recognition in tightly set words.
