A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut wedge serifs. The letterforms are broad and compactly spaced, with strong vertical stress and crisp, chiseled joins that give counters a slightly pinched, engraved feel. Many curves terminate in ball-like terminals (notably in the lowercase), while horizontals and diagonals end in pointed, beak-like serifs, creating a distinctly carved silhouette. Figures are robust and old-style in feel, with rounded bowls and bold spurs that keep the texture dense and steady in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, editorial display, and packaging or branding where a traditional serif voice with strong contrast can carry the page. It also works well for book covers and poster typography, especially in settings that benefit from a classic, engraved look and a dense, high-impact typographic color.
The overall tone is classic and commanding, evoking traditional print and editorial typography with a slightly vintage, poster-like confidence. Its sharp serifs and weighty presence read as formal and authoritative rather than casual, and the ornamental terminals add a hint of theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with added drama through exaggerated wedge serifs and rounded terminals, balancing classic readability with a more decorative, print-forward personality for display settings.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm despite the dramatic terminals, and the sturdy interior counters help preserve readability at larger text sizes. The lowercase shows especially distinctive finishing details (ball terminals and pointed serifs) that become part of the font’s signature texture.
