A bold, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a strong vertical stress with sharp, wedge-like terminals and teardrop/ball details in places, giving a subtly calligraphic edge within a sturdy, display-forward build. Proportions are generously wide with open counters and a steady rhythm; lowercase forms keep a conventional x-height while ascenders and capitals feel imposing and weighty. Numerals are heavy and rounded with crisp inner cuts, matching the overall chiseled, ink-trap-free silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, and short passages where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It can also work well for brand marks, packaging, and titles that need a classic serif presence with extra visual bite.
The font reads as formal and editorial, combining a traditional bookish voice with a more theatrical, attention-grabbing finish. Its sharp terminals and swelling strokes add drama and a slightly vintage, poster-like confidence without tipping into ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding serif voice by pairing wide proportions and strong contrast with flared, sculptural terminals. It aims to evoke classical print typography while amplifying impact for display and prominent editorial roles.
In text settings the weight and contrast create strong texture and dark color, making spacing and line breaks feel consequential and headline-like. The diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) appear crisp and tense, while curves in O/C/G/S stay smooth and controlled, reinforcing a polished, authoritative tone.
