This typeface is a heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and sharply tapered joins. Serifs and terminals feel carved and slightly flared, with wedge-like endings and angled cuts that create a crisp, incised look. Curves are full and round while transitions into terminals are abrupt and high-contrast, producing strong internal counters and a punchy texture in text. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with round i-dots, a single-storey g, and a mix of straight and curved terminals that keep the rhythm lively.
Best suited to display sizes where its sharp contrast and flared, carved terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing editorial titles. It can also work well for branding and packaging that want a classic, premium feel with strong personality, but it is likely to feel dense in long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and performative, with a vintage editorial flavor and a hint of theatrical display lettering. Its sharp, chiseled details and weighty presence communicate confidence and drama, reading as formal yet energetic rather than delicate or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding display serif that blends traditional proportions with carved, flared finishing details. Its goal is impact and character—creating a bold, classical impression with crisp, sculptural terminals and a lively rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Angular cuts appear repeatedly at stroke endings and in diagonals, giving letters a distinctive faceted profile. Numerals share the same high-contrast, sculpted treatment, with strong curves and tapered terminals that match the caps and lowercase.
