A strong display serif with pronounced contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals that often broaden into wedge-like endings. Serifs are sharply bracketed and angular, giving strokes a chiseled, carved quality while maintaining an upright stance. Counters are compact and the rhythm is energetic, with noticeable modulation through joins and curves; rounded letters (O, C, G) show crisp transitions between thick and thin, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read as sturdy and emphatic. The numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic, with bold bowls and sharper finishing strokes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can add an authoritative, classic voice to editorial layouts, book and magazine covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a traditional yet expressive serif.
The overall tone feels traditional and commanding, like editorial typography with a slightly theatrical edge. Its flared details and strong contrast suggest refinement and heritage, while the robust weight keeps it confident and attention-getting.
Designed to deliver a classic serif presence with extra drama through flared stroke endings and crisp contrast, balancing heritage cues with display-level impact. The forms aim for a carved, authoritative look that remains legible at larger sizes while projecting strong personality.
Uppercase forms lean toward monumental, inscription-like presence, while lowercase retains distinct, calligraphy-influenced shaping—especially visible in letters like a, g, and y where terminals and curves add character. Spacing and proportions favor headline readability and impact over quiet neutrality.
