A bold, high-contrast serif with pronounced bracketed wedges and frequent beaked or forked terminals that create a carved, slightly calligraphic texture. Vertical stems read sturdy and dark, while joins pinch into narrow waists that heighten the contrast and add an ink-trap-like crispness at tight corners. The proportions are moderately condensed in places with visibly varied character widths, giving the line a lively rhythm. Serifs and terminals often flare or spur mid-stem, producing a distinctive ornamental edge without becoming overly intricate.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and branding where the spurred terminals and high-contrast modeling can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial titles, pull quotes, and packaging that aims for a classic-yet-dramatic voice. For continuous body copy, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels theatrical and vintage, with a hint of Victorian poster lettering and old-style book typography. Its sharp spurs and beaked endings add drama and attitude, while the underlying serif structure keeps it grounded and traditional.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif construction with ornate, forked/spurred finishing strokes, creating a distinctive display serif that feels historical and expressive. It prioritizes strong silhouette and decorative terminal behavior to produce impact and personality in short to medium-length text.
Uppercase forms show strong vertical emphasis and sculpted curves, while lowercase keeps readable counters but retains the signature spurred terminals (notably in letters with hooks and descenders). Numerals appear weighty and display-oriented, matching the sharp, flared detailing of the letters. At text sizes the dense stroke weight and pointed joins create a vigorous color that favors shorter settings over long reading.
