A heavy, display-oriented serif with strongly sculpted, flaring terminals and sharp wedge-like serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp transitions, producing bright inner counters and dark outer silhouettes. Curves are taut and slightly pinched at joins, while horizontals and cross-strokes end in pointed, chiseled forms that add snap to letters like E, F, T, and Z. Lowercase forms are compact and weighty, with prominent beaks and angled terminals; numerals are similarly bold with assertive, tapered endings.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its sharp serifs and flared endings can be appreciated. It can work for magazine mastheads, book covers, cultural/event posters, and branding that aims for a classic-yet-theatrical statement. In long paragraphs, its dense color and pointed details are likely to be most comfortable at larger text sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone feels authoritative and editorial, combining a traditional serif foundation with a more theatrical, carved presence. It reads as confident and slightly ornate rather than neutral, with a sense of ceremony and headline drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, classic serif voice with extra visual bite—using flared terminals and sharp, chiseled serifs to amplify impact and create a distinctive editorial display texture.
Spacing and letterforms create a dense texture in text settings, with high contrast and sharp terminals increasing sparkle at larger sizes. The design’s distinctive wedges and flares give many glyphs a starched, formal cadence, especially in capitals and figures.
