A bold, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Curves are full and weighty, while joins and inner counters stay relatively tight, giving letters a compact, carved-in feel. The texture in text is dark and assertive, with clear thick–thin modulation and slightly calligraphic shaping at stroke ends. Capitals are sturdy and classical, and the figures are strong and display-oriented, matching the heavy overall color.
Best used for headlines, subheads, posters, book and album covers, and brand or masthead applications where a strong, classic voice is needed. It can work in short text blocks at comfortable sizes, but its dark color and high contrast favor display settings over long passages at small sizes.
The font reads as formal and editorial, with a confident, old-world gravitas. Its flared, chiseled details add drama and a slightly theatrical tone, making it feel authoritative rather than casual. Overall it conveys tradition and emphasis, suited to statements that should feel established and weighty.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with flared, tapering terminals to create a bold display face that feels both classical and distinctive. Its consistent high contrast and sculpted endings suggest an emphasis on dramatic presence and editorial authority.
Spacing in the sample text produces a dense, impactful rhythm, and the flared terminals remain prominent across both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase shows a sturdy, slightly idiosyncratic serif behavior (notably in letters like a, g, and y), reinforcing a crafted, display-first personality.
