A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp wedge-like terminals. Stems are sturdy and slightly variable in thickness, with pronounced bracketing where strokes meet serifs, giving forms a carved, faceted feel. Curves are full and tightly controlled, while joins and interior corners often resolve into crisp points, producing a lively, angular rhythm. The lowercase shows compact, weighty bowls and a slightly calligraphic modulation, and the numerals follow the same bold, expressive contrast and tapering terminals for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and pull quotes where its high-contrast structure and flared endings can read as deliberate styling. It also works well for magazine and book-cover typography, identity systems, and packaging that need a classic, authoritative voice with extra bite.
The overall tone is emphatic and theatrical, with a sense of old-world gravitas and editorial authority. Its sharp terminals and flared finishes add tension and energy, making the voice feel formal yet expressive rather than purely bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened drama through flared terminals, sharp wedges, and strong contrast. It prioritizes impact and character—especially in large sizes—while preserving recognizable, conventional letter structures for readable text settings.
In running text the heavy color and sharp wedges create strong word shapes and clear punctuation, but the striking contrast and spiky details become the main visual feature at larger sizes. The design’s crisp terminals and bracketed transitions suggest display-led intentions while remaining structured enough to hold together in short paragraphs.
