A high-contrast serif with robust, sculpted letterforms and pronounced flaring at stroke terminals. Thick verticals dominate, while hairline joins and serifs snap to sharp points, creating a crisp, poster-ready rhythm. Proportions are generously set with broad capitals and solid, compact bowls; counters stay open enough to hold up in display sizes. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with strong modulation, wedge-like entry/exit strokes, and emphatic ball/teardrop terminals on several forms, reinforcing the carved, authoritative texture.
Best suited for headlines, covers, mastheads, and branding where a bold, high-contrast serif texture can command attention. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the sharp contrast and stylized terminals suggest using it at larger sizes rather than extended body copy.
The overall tone feels editorial and ceremonial—confident, weighty, and attention-seeking. Its sharp contrast and pointed terminals add drama and a slightly theatrical edge, while the underlying serif construction keeps it rooted in classic print tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding, print-centric serif voice that blends classical structure with flared, sculptural finishing. It prioritizes impact and character—using extreme stroke modulation and pointed terminals to create a distinctive, premium display look.
Curves often resolve into pointed, beak-like joins, and several glyphs use asymmetric swelling to emphasize forward motion. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, with strong thick–thin transitions that match the text’s display-oriented presence.
