A high-contrast serif with stout verticals, sharply tapered hairlines, and pronounced flaring at stroke endings that creates a subtly sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs read as bracketed and wedge-like rather than flat slabs, with a mix of pointed and softly rounded terminals that keep the texture lively. Counters tend to be compact and apertures relatively tight, producing a dense, weighty color in text. Curves are smoothly modeled while joins often resolve into crisp angles, giving the overall rhythm a firm, stately cadence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, posters, and cover typography where the high contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also serve premium branding and packaging when used at larger sizes, pairing well with restrained layouts and ample spacing.
The font projects a formal, authoritative tone with a theatrical edge—classic in structure but energized by bold contrast and flared finishing. It feels suited to luxurious or historic cues, conveying confidence and a slightly baroque richness without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif authority with a more expressive, carved terminal treatment, creating a distinctive display-friendly voice that remains grounded in classical letterform construction. Its strong contrast and compact counters suggest an emphasis on impact and personality in larger typographic roles.
Uppercase forms are broad and monument-like, while lowercase shapes maintain a sturdy baseline presence with noticeable swelling into terminals (especially in letters like a, c, e, and s). Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and sculpted finishing, keeping display settings cohesive across letters and figures.
