A high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at the ends of major strokes and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Stems feel sturdy and slightly tapered, while hairlines are thin and incisive, creating strong light–dark rhythm. Curves are tightly drawn with sharp internal joins, and several characters show calligraphic influence through angled cuts and pointed terminals. The overall texture is dense and dark in text, with clear modulation and a slightly sculpted, engraved quality.
This design performs best in display contexts such as magazine headlines, poster typography, book and album covers, and branding where a strong, formal presence is desired. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, but its sharp hairlines and dense texture suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-contrast reproduction.
The font conveys a confident, ceremonial tone—dramatic and authoritative without feeling mechanical. Its sharp detailing and strong contrast suggest a refined, editorial voice with a hint of vintage gravitas, suitable for statements that want to feel elevated and emphatic.
The letterforms appear intended to merge classical serif structure with a more expressive, flared finish, producing a bold, high-impact display face. The design prioritizes drama, contrast, and sculpted terminals to create a distinctive signature in titles and identity work.
Uppercase forms read as particularly monumental, with broad verticals and emphatic serifs that hold attention at display sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, with angular notches and strong contrast that favors headlines over small, utilitarian settings.
