A heavy display serif with pronounced flared terminals and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes show clear contrast, with thick verticals and tapered joins that create a sculpted rhythm across words. The letterforms are wide and open, with rounded bowls, teardrop-like apertures in places, and distinctive triangular notches/ink-trap-like cuts where strokes meet (notably in letters like a, e, and g). Curves are smooth but assertive, and the overall silhouette reads bold and stable, with a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where its flared details and contrast can be appreciated. It can add strong personality to editorial openings, poster typography, branding marks, and packaging—especially where a bold, classic-but-stylized serif voice is desired.
The font projects a confident, headline-forward tone with a retro editorial flavor—part classic serif authority, part showy display swagger. Its flared endings and punchy contrast add drama and a slightly theatrical, vintage-press feel, making text look emphatic and intentional even at short lengths.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that modernizes traditional serif cues through flared terminals, sculpted joins, and dramatic contrast. Its wide proportions and emphatic silhouettes prioritize visibility and character over neutral text economy, aiming for memorable, print-like presence in prominent settings.
Spacing appears generous and the shapes are designed to hold together in large sizes, where the internal cut-ins and flared terminals become defining details. Numerals are stout and weighty, matching the capitals’ presence and maintaining the same carved, tapered finishing throughout.
