A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and tightly bracketed joins. The forms show a pronounced calligraphic stress, with thick verticals and tapered, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs rather than ending bluntly. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are smoothly modeled and the diagonals (V, W, X) feel sharp and decisive. Lowercase maintains a traditional, text-oriented build with sturdy stems, round i-dots, and a single-storey g, giving the design a punchy, oldstyle-leaning texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and statement typography where dense color and contrast can be an asset. It works well for editorial titling, book covers, theatrical or cultural posters, and bold branding that wants a classic serif voice with extra punch.
The tone is confident and classical, evoking editorial seriousness with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready weight. The flared endings and dramatic contrast add a carved, monumental flavor that reads as established and formal rather than casual or technical.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with flared, calligraphic terminals to produce a strong, attention-holding texture. Its modeling prioritizes impact and authority while retaining recognizable, text-rooted letter structures for readable display setting.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and a compact, emphatic rhythm, with noticeable vertical stress and dark typographic color that favors headlines and short blocks. Figures are robust and high-contrast, matching the caps’ weight and giving numerals a bold, declarative presence.
