A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends that reads like wedge serifs rather than blunt slabs. Stems and bowls feel carved and sculptural, with sharp, tapered terminals and deep ink traps implied by the pinched joins. Curves are broad and rounded, while interior counters stay relatively tight, creating a dense, poster-like texture. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with a single-storey a and g and ball-like i/j dots, and the numerals follow the same bold, flared logic with strong vertical stress.
This face is best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, book and album covers, and bold editorial pull-quotes. It can also work for identity and packaging where a classic, authoritative voice is desired, especially when set with generous tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone is commanding and theatrical, with an old-style, engraved sensibility that feels at home in classic print traditions. Its strong contrast and sculpted terminals give it a premium, ceremonial presence—more headline than body—suggesting confidence and drama rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional high-contrast serif forms with flared, wedge-like endings, delivering an engraved, monumental feel optimized for impact. Its sturdy lowercase and emphatic caps suggest a focus on expressive display typography that remains legible and coherent in short texts.
In the sample text, word shapes form a lively rhythm because the heavy strokes and sharp flares create strong horizontal beats and pronounced internal notches. The design’s density and contrast favor larger sizes, where the sculpted details and tapered endings remain clear and intentional.
