A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and distinctive flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. The letterforms have a compact, weighty silhouette with crisp joins, deep interior notches, and a slightly chiseled, calligraphic logic to curves and transitions. Serifs feel integrated into the strokes rather than appended, producing a rhythmic, faceted texture in text, while counters remain readable despite the heavy dark value. Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis with expressive diagonals and angled terminals that add sparkle at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where its sculptural contrast and flared endings can be appreciated—editorial headlines, book and album covers, posters, and brand marks. It can work for short blocks of text in large sizes, but will generally be strongest for titles, pull quotes, and prominent typographic statements.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, with a sense of historical gravitas and editorial authority. Its sharp flares and high contrast lend an emphatic, headline-ready voice that can feel ceremonial or literary depending on setting and spacing.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with a flared, chiseled finish, creating a bold, authoritative display face that reads as both traditional and distinctive. Its exaggerated contrast and terminal shaping aim to deliver impact and personality while retaining familiar serif letterform conventions.
In the sample text, the bold massing creates a dense page color; the design’s angular terminals and notched details become more apparent as size increases. Round letters show pointed, tapering transitions that keep the heavy weight from feeling blunt, while diagonals and joints contribute a lively, carved texture.
