A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at stroke endings and sharply tapered joins. Serifs are wedge-like and often feel integrated into the stroke, with a mix of crisp beaks and subtly bracketed transitions. Curves show strong thick–thin modulation, and several letters feature lively sheared terminals that add motion without breaking the upright stance. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with rounded forms (a, e, o) that carry generous counters and occasional ball-like terminals, while the overall width and spacing create a broad, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, posters, and brand marks where a dramatic serif can carry the composition. It also works well for premium packaging and campaign typography when used at larger sizes with comfortable spacing to let the contrast and flared terminals show clearly.
The tone is confident and theatrical, pairing classic editorial polish with a bold, contemporary punch. Its strong contrast and flared finishing details suggest prestige and formality, while the angled cuts and lively terminals keep it energetic rather than purely traditional.
The design appears aimed at a statement serif that merges classical proportions with expressive, flared stroke endings and sharp terminal cuts for maximum presence. It prioritizes a strong, elegant silhouette and high-impact texture in display settings.
The numerals and capitals read as especially assertive, with distinctive diagonals and tapered tips that produce a crisp silhouette at large sizes. In text blocks, the dark color and high contrast create a strong typographic voice that favors impact over subtlety.
