A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that taper into sharp points. The strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with sturdy verticals and crisp, angular finishing details that give the outlines a carved, chiseled feel. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and upright, with a slightly squarish, commanding silhouette in many capitals. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same assertive contrast and pointed terminals, producing a dense, confident text color.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and other display settings where its flared terminals and high-contrast structure can read as intentional detail. It works well for editorial layouts, posters, book covers, and branding systems that want a classic-but-forceful serif voice with strong typographic color.
The font projects a bold, editorial seriousness with a dramatic, headline-forward presence. Its sharp wedges and flared endings evoke a traditional, carved-letter sensibility while still feeling contemporary and punchy. The tone is authoritative and formal, suited to statements that need visual weight and gravitas.
The design appears intended to blend a traditional serif foundation with sculptural, flared stroke endings, emphasizing contrast and sharp finishing for maximum impact. Its proportions and dense color suggest a focus on confident display typography and assertive editorial hierarchy.
The sample text shows strong performance at large sizes, where the sharp joins, wedge serifs, and contrast become key identifying features. In tighter settings, the dense interior spaces and pronounced serifs create a compact, emphatic texture, favoring display use over extended small-size reading.
