A punchy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and broad proportions, built around sturdy verticals that swell into flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sculpted rather than slabby, giving the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel despite the upright stance. Counters are relatively compact for the width, and joins often show soft notches that read like subtle ink-traps at text sizes. Lowercase forms are rounded and weighty with a steady rhythm, while capitals feel monumental and tightly drawn, emphasizing strong horizontals and crisp internal cut-ins.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, poster typography, and branding where a bold, high-contrast serif can carry personality. It can also work for packaging and identity systems that want a classic-but-commanding look, especially at medium to large sizes where the flared details and bracketed shaping remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, mixing classical gravitas with a showy, headline-ready energy. It evokes vintage display typography—confident, slightly theatrical, and tailored for impact—without feeling whimsical or handwritten. The strong contrast and flared detailing lend a premium, magazine-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on flared, high-contrast serifs: wide, attention-grabbing forms with sculpted terminals that add sophistication and texture. It prioritizes presence and distinctive silhouette over neutral text invisibility, aiming for strong typographic voice in display settings.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight counters create a saturated texture that stays lively due to the sharp contrasts and flared endings. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly sculpted terminals and a compact, sturdy build, keeping the set consistent for titling and figure-heavy headlines.
