A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals that read like wedge serifs rather than flat slabs. Strokes swell and taper with a distinctly chiseled profile, producing sharp interior corners and occasional ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with tight apertures and strong rhythmic verticals, while capitals feel wide-shouldered and emphatic. Numerals are bold and curvy with pronounced thick–thin modulation, matching the display-forward texture of the letters.
Best suited to headlines and short text where strong contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated—posters, book and album covers, mastheads, branding marks, and packaging. It can work for emphatic pull quotes or titling, but the dense color and tight apertures suggest using it at moderate-to-large sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, blending a vintage poster sensibility with an editorial sharpness. Its flared endings and carved joins add a slightly crafty, hand-driven energy while still feeling structured and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with a distinctive flared, carved finish—bridging classic display typography and a more expressive, contemporary edge. Its large x-height and sturdy vertical rhythm suggest a focus on impact and readability in titling contexts.
Spacing appears designed to create a dense, punchy word image at larger sizes, with counters kept relatively small for maximum blackness. Several forms lean on angular cuts and triangular serifs that emphasize direction and motion, giving lines of text a lively, staccato texture.
