A compact, strongly structured serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden into sharp serif points. Strokes feel dense and sculpted, with tight counters and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. The capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed with crisp joins and angled, chiseled finishing strokes; curves are firm rather than delicate, keeping the overall texture dark and continuous. Lowercase forms follow the same carved logic, with compact bowls and short, assertive endings that preserve a consistent, weighty color in text.
Best suited to display roles where its flared terminals and dense typographic color can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial blurbs or titling where a traditional, weighty serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative tone with a slightly theatrical edge, like carved lettering adapted for print. Its dark, emphatic presence reads as confident and traditional, lending gravity and a sense of permanence to headlines and short passages.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif presence with a distinctive flared, chiseled finish, creating a strong visual signature without relying on delicate contrast. It prioritizes impact and character in larger sizes while maintaining consistent structure across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In the sample text, the type builds a strong, poster-like texture: spacing is tight and the flare at stroke endings becomes a defining signature, especially in letters with rounded bowls and diagonal joins. Numerals match the same sturdy construction and feel designed to sit confidently alongside the caps.
