This typeface is a heavy, high-contrast serif with distinctly flared, tapered stroke endings that behave like sharpened wedges rather than flat terminals. Serifs are short and sculpted, often triangular and strongly bracketed into the stems, creating a carved, chiseled feel. Counters are generally compact and the joins are crisp, while rounds (C, O, G, e) show pronounced thick–thin modulation that adds a rhythmic, calligraphic sweep. The lowercase is sturdy with a moderate x-height and tight-looking apertures, and the numerals follow the same bold, display-forward construction with energetic diagonals and strong verticals.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as headlines, magazine/editorial titles, posters, and campaign graphics where its sculpted serifs and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and book covers that want a classic yet punchy display serif with strong personality.
The overall tone is theatrical and assertive, combining classic serif formality with a more stylized, poster-like edge. Its sharp flares and high contrast give it a slightly vintage, headline-driven character that feels authoritative and attention-seeking rather than quiet or texty.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif: maximizing impact through bold massing, pronounced contrast, and flared, wedge-like terminals that create a distinctive silhouette. It aims to evoke a traditional serif heritage while adding a stylized, carved finish for contemporary headline use.
In running text, the dense color and narrow openings create a compact texture that reads best with generous size and spacing. The design’s flared terminals and pointed serifs are a defining motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a consistent, emblematic look in display settings.
