A striking serif with sculpted, wedge-like serifs and strongly flared terminals that give stems a carved, expanding finish. The design relies on crisp thick–thin transitions and sharp, triangular spur shapes, producing a rhythmic pattern of pointed serifs and smooth bowls. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, with generous roundness in O/C/G and crisp, angular entry strokes on letters like S and a. The texture is assertive and dark, while the flaring and bracketing keep edges from feeling purely geometric or slab-like.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial settings where its strong contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and packaging that benefits from a bold, heritage-leaning voice, especially in larger sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone feels theatrical and high-impact, with a confident, display-forward presence. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast evoke a vintage editorial and poster sensibility—bold, stylish, and slightly dramatic rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif that blends classic high-contrast structure with flared, wedge-driven finishing. Its goal seems to be delivering maximum presence and a distinctive silhouette through sculpted terminals and dramatic thick–thin rhythm.
Distinctive triangular cut-ins and wedge joints appear throughout, especially visible in K, W, and X where diagonals meet with pointed, chiseled notches. Numerals share the same sculptural logic, with the 2, 3, 5, and 9 showing pronounced contrast and stylized terminals that read well at large sizes.
