A sculpted serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals and a strong thick–thin axis. Strokes taper into sharp points and broad, triangular serifs, producing a chiseled, poster-like texture. Counters are relatively tight and the joins feel crisp, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that reads as engraved rather than geometric. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, while capitals carry more sweep and presence, creating a lively, uneven rhythm across words.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, poster typography, magazine or journal titling, and book covers where its sharp flares and contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for logos and packaging that want a classic, authoritative voice, especially with careful spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a vintage editorial flavor. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast evoke classic print—headlines, engraved signage, and old-style advertising—while still feeling polished and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, engraved serif personality: classic in structure but energized by flared terminals and knife-like tapers. It prioritizes impact and distinctive texture over neutral text invisibility, aiming for memorable titles and brand-forward typography.
In text settings the strong tapering and tight internal spaces increase visual density, so it reads best when given generous tracking and line spacing. Numerals and capitals are especially attention-grabbing, with angular details that can become a defining motif in branding.
