A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and broad proportions. Stems swell into flared, wedge-like terminals and compact bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic pull rather than a purely mechanical build. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, with generous curves and softened joins that create an almost inked, slightly scooped impression in places. The rhythm is sturdy and emphatic, with large caps and strong color on the line; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and rounded bowls, while ascenders/descenders remain controlled and compact.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and title typography where strong presence and a classic serif voice are desirable. It can work effectively on posters, book or album covers, and brand marks that benefit from a formal, heritage-inflected feel, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is commanding and traditional, with a display-forward seriousness that reads as editorial and institutional. Its dramatic contrast and flared endings add a sense of heritage and ceremony, while the wide stance gives it a confident, declarative voice.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with a more expressive, flared finishing, producing a bold display face that feels carved and ceremonial. Its wide proportions and high-contrast modeling prioritize impact and character over understated text neutrality.
In the sample text, the dense weight and narrow internal spaces make long passages feel forceful and dark, favoring larger sizes where the sculpted terminals and contrast can be appreciated. Numerals match the same robust, flared vocabulary and feel well-suited to titling and emphatic callouts.
