A bold, high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals and sharply bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, sculptural feel. Vertical stems are strong and steady while joins and endings taper into pointed, triangular shapes, creating lively tension between thick and thin. Counters are compact and the rhythm is assertive, with distinctive flare at stroke ends (notably in letters like C, S, and a) and a slightly calligraphic, chiseled silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the same dramatic contrast and flared finishing, maintaining a cohesive, display-forward texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where the sharp flares and contrast can be appreciated—magazine titles, book covers, poster typography, and bold brand wordmarks. It can work for editorial subheads or pull quotes, but its dense color and distinctive terminals make it more comfortable at larger sizes than in small, continuous body text.
The overall tone reads bold and ceremonial—classic in structure but with a theatrical edge from the sharp flares and high-contrast cuts. It suggests confidence and intensity, leaning toward an editorial, poster-like presence rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif authority with a more expressive, chiseled flare at stroke endings, creating a memorable display voice. Its consistent use of tapering, wedge-like terminals suggests a deliberate aim for dramatic impact and strong typographic texture in titles and branding.
In paragraph setting the face builds a dense, dark color with crisp internal highlights from the thin strokes, making its flared terminals especially noticeable at larger sizes. The lowercase shows a pronounced, stylized personality (e.g., single-storey a and g with strong tapering), which reinforces a display-led character even when used in longer lines.
