A very bold, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and strongly bracketed serifs. Stems swell and taper with a calligraphic feel, producing a sculpted rhythm and noticeable modulation throughout both roman capitals and lowercase. Counters are relatively tight at this weight, while joins and terminals show softened, chiseled shaping that keeps forms from feeling purely geometric. Lowercase features sturdy, rounded bowls and a compact, energetic texture; figures are heavy and attention-grabbing, with clear contrast between thick and hairline elements.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and magazine typography where its dark color and high contrast can shine. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a vintage-editorial voice, especially in short bursts of text at moderate to large sizes.
The tone is theatrical and old-world, blending editorial authority with a decorative, poster-like punch. Its flared endings and sharp contrast evoke classic print-era display typography, giving text a confident, slightly ceremonial presence.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual authority with a refined, classic flavor, using flared terminals and high contrast to create a distinctive display texture. It prioritizes presence and character over neutrality, aiming for memorable, print-forward typography.
The face builds impact through dark color and sculptural terminals rather than large width, so it reads dense and emphatic in paragraphs at larger sizes. Curves and diagonals (notably in letters like S, Q, and g) emphasize a carved, slightly dynamic motion, while the overall stance remains upright and formal.
