A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, bracketed endings that broaden into wedge-like serifs. Curves are full and rounded, with occasional ball-like terminals and teardrop joins that give the shapes a slightly calligraphic, inked quality. Counters run on the compact side for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and formal, with crisp interior cut-ins and tapered transitions that add snap to the silhouettes.
Best suited to large sizes where its contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated—headlines, cover lines, posters, and bold identity wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when generous spacing and leading are used to maintain clarity.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, leaning toward classic editorial display. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted finishing details give it a dignified, slightly vintage presence that feels confident and attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra impact, combining traditional proportions with emphatic stroke shaping and flared terminals to create strong, memorable display typography.
Uppercase forms read as monument-like and stable, while lowercase shows lively terminals and pronounced joins that add personality in text. Numerals match the weight and contrast, with strong curves and clear differentiation that suits display settings.
