A very heavy, high-contrast serif with flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that broaden as they meet the stems. Curves are full and rounded with tight apertures, while straight strokes feel carved and slightly chiseled through sharp triangular terminals and assertive joins. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with a moderately sized x-height and prominent bowls; details like ball terminals and teardrop-like terminals add a softer counterpoint to the strong verticals. Overall spacing reads dense and display-oriented, with an energetic rhythm created by the alternating thick stems and crisp, tapering exits.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where weight and contrast can be appreciated—such as posters, magazine cover lines, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for pull quotes and section headers, especially when ample leading and breathing room are provided to counter its naturally dense color.
The tone is bold and self-assured, evoking classic editorial and heritage cues while still feeling punchy and contemporary. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals give it a theatrical, attention-grabbing voice suited to emphatic statements and branded headlines.
The likely intention is a display serif that blends traditional serif structure with expressive flared terminals to create strong silhouette recognition and premium, editorial presence. It appears designed to deliver high impact at large sizes while retaining a crafted, engraved-like character.
The design leans on sculptural terminal treatment more than delicate hairlines, so it maintains impact even in complex letterforms and numerals. Round letters are notably robust, and the uppercase has a monumental presence that pairs well with the equally weighty lowercase for multi-line headlines.
