A dense, display-oriented serif with pronounced stroke contrast and strongly flared, wedge-like terminals that create a chiselled silhouette. Stems are robust and slightly sculpted, while hairlines taper quickly into sharp serifs and pointed joins, producing a lively black-and-white rhythm. Capitals feel stately and compact with crisp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and generous interior counters; lowercase forms are sturdy and rounded with prominent ball/teardrop shaping at some joints and terminals. Numerals are bold and high-impact, with distinctive curves and angled finishing strokes that match the font’s carved, flaring behavior.
Best used for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titling where the high-contrast flaring and sculpted serifs can carry the design. It also fits premium packaging, cultural posters, and book or album covers that benefit from a classic yet forceful serif voice.
The overall tone is bold, formal, and slightly theatrical, evoking engraved lettering and high-end editorial typography. Its strong contrast and flared detailing project confidence and tradition, with a dramatic cadence that reads as premium and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and flared terminals for maximum presence. It aims to balance classic proportions with carved, wedge-like detailing to create a distinctive display face that stands out in editorial and branding contexts.
At larger sizes the tapered hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining texture, giving lines of text a rhythmic, almost calligraphic sparkle. In paragraphs the weight and contrast make it feel best suited to short bursts of copy rather than extended reading, especially where the distinctive terminal shapes can be appreciated.
