A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a mostly vertical stress. Serifs are compact and sharply cut, with minimal bracketing and crisp joins that emphasize the high-contrast silhouette. Many letters show rounded, teardrop-like terminals and occasional soft curl or spur details, giving the forms a carved, slightly calligraphic finish despite the upright stance. Proportions are expansive and blocky overall, with wide capitals, generous counters, and a lively rhythm created by alternating blunt stems and fine hairlines.
Best suited to large-size applications where contrast and terminal detailing can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, mastheads, packaging, and book or album covers. It also works well for short pull quotes, chapter openers, and branding wordmarks that need a bold, classic voice with distinctive character.
The tone is commanding and theatrical, combining a classic editorial seriousness with a touch of vintage flair. Its bold presence and sculpted terminals read as confident and slightly ornate, evoking headline typography from print-era posters and newspapers rather than neutral text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an editorial, old-style sensibility—pairing wide, weighty structures with high-contrast detailing and decorative terminal cues to stand out in display typography.
In sample text, the dense color and high contrast create strong word shapes and punchy emphasis, while the finer interior strokes and hairline connections can visually sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals and lowercase carry the same robust mass and stylized terminals, supporting cohesive display use across mixed-case and figure-heavy settings.
