A sculptural serif with strongly flared stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin contrast. The letterforms are upright with broad proportions and a steady, display-oriented rhythm. Serifs and terminals read as wedge-like and slightly bracketed, giving strokes a carved, expanding finish rather than blunt slabs. Curves are full and rounded, counters are generous, and joins show a subtle calligraphic logic that keeps the shapes crisp even at heavy weight.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other large-size settings where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can add a formal, established voice to editorial layouts, book or album covers, and brand marks that want a classic yet forceful serif presence.
The overall tone feels confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness and a touch of theatrical drama. Its flared endings and high contrast suggest heritage and ceremony, evoking classic print culture and headline typography.
The design appears intended as a bold display serif that merges traditional high-contrast construction with flared, expanding terminals to create impact and a refined, print-like character.
Spacing appears comfortable for a display serif, with wide capitals and substantial internal space that helps maintain clarity. Numerals are similarly weighty and high-contrast, matching the text’s sturdy, emphatic presence.
