A robust, high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at the ends of strokes. The design emphasizes strong verticals and sculpted curves, with crisp triangular serifs and pointed beaks on forms like C, S, and G. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is assertive, while the curves show pronounced swelling and tightening that creates a carved, chiseled feel. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and sturdy stems, with single-storey a and g, a compact e with a heavy horizontal, and short, sharp-angled joins that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its sculpted contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated—editorial titles, poster typography, book or album covers, and branding that benefits from a stately, dramatic voice. It can also work for packaging and logotypes where strong silhouette and sharp terminals help the design stand out.
The font communicates a bold, ceremonial tone—classic in structure but energized by dramatic flare and sharp, blade-like detailing. It feels authoritative and attention-grabbing, leaning toward a vintage editorial or poster sensibility rather than quiet text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical serif foundation with heightened drama: flared stroke endings, sharp wedges, and condensed counters create a carved, display-forward character meant to command attention in large-scale settings.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and flared terminals create strong word shapes and a distinctive texture, especially where pointed terminals meet tight counters. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with angular cuts and pronounced contrast that reinforce a display-oriented presence.
