A compact, heavy serif with pronounced contrast and strongly flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs. The design emphasizes tall verticals and tightened letterfit, with sharp, tapered joins and occasional notch-like cut-ins where strokes meet, giving counters a carved, ink-trap-like feel. Curves are taut and slightly condensed, and terminals often finish in pointed, blade-like wedges rather than blunt slabs, producing a crisp, sculpted silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
This font is best used for short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, magazine titles, pull quotes, and book-cover display. It can also work for branding marks and packaging where a compact footprint and dramatic serif detailing help create a distinctive voice.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing a vintage headline sensibility with a modern, high-impact presence. Its sharp wedges and deep cuts create a sense of drama and urgency that feels suited to attention-grabbing display settings rather than quiet text work.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed, space-efficient form, using flared wedge terminals and high contrast to create a sculptural, engraved impression. Its detailing prioritizes personality and headline impact over long-form readability.
The lowercase shows distinct character: single-storey forms appear where expected (e.g., a and g), with tight apertures and strong stroke modulation that can cause interior spaces to close up at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same carved, high-contrast logic, keeping a consistent, poster-like rhythm.
