A display serif with striking thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical, engraved rhythm. The letterforms are expansive and sculptural, with broad bowls and pronounced contrast between heavy stems and fine joins. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than blocky, and many terminals finish in beak-like points or small wedge flicks that add motion. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins in letters like a, g, and e create distinctive dark pockets that intensify the overall color.
Best used where impact and personality matter: headlines, large subheads, posters, and cover typography. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a classic, high-drama serif voice, especially at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and pointed terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is emphatic and stage-ready, blending old-style gravitas with a bold, poster-like presence. It reads as confident and declarative, with a slightly playful, flourished edge from its pointed terminals and dramatic contrast.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif silhouette with amplified contrast and flamboyant terminals, prioritizing presence and character over neutrality. Its wide proportions and sculpted details suggest a focus on display typography that feels bold, formal, and visually memorable.
Lowercase forms show lively, idiosyncratic detailing—especially the single-storey a and g—creating a recognizable texture in words. The numerals are hefty and curvaceous, matching the weight and roundness of the capitals. In paragraph-like settings the dense blackness and sharp highlights produce a strong, high-impact texture best suited to short runs rather than quiet reading.
