A heavy, display-oriented serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes swell into wedge-like endings, giving many joins and terminals a carved, chiseled feel rather than blunt slabs. The letterforms are relatively broad with generous counters, while the rhythm alternates between solid vertical masses and sharp, pointed serifs; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize triangular cuts and tapered tips. Lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a narrow, pointed j descender, and a distinctive diamond-shaped i/j dot, contributing to a strongly stylized texture in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared terminals and high-contrast shaping can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, book and album covers, and assertive brand marks. It can also work for short editorial callouts or section heads where a traditional yet dramatic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, with a classic, print-forward flavor and a touch of theatrical drama. Its sharp wedges and flared endings suggest tradition and ceremony, while the bold presence reads as confident and attention-seeking.
Likely designed as a high-impact display serif that blends classic serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, engraved-like presence. The goal appears to be strong hierarchy and memorable texture in titles rather than neutral, extended reading.
In the sample text, the dense black weight creates strong line presence and punchy word shapes, with punctuation and numerals matching the same chiseled, flared language. The figures are bold and sculptural, and the ampersand and capitals carry a headline-centric emphasis.
