A very heavy, high-contrast display serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Curves are deep and bowl shapes often include pinched or notched cut-ins that create a distinct, ink-trap-like sparkle in counters. The overall texture is dense and emphatic, with compact apertures, pronounced vertical stress, and an intentionally chiseled rhythm that varies from glyph to glyph while remaining cohesive. Figures are similarly bold and stylized, with strong thick–thin play and decorative shaping on curves and joins.
Best suited to posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging where strong personality and high contrast can carry the composition. It also works well for book covers and editorial openers that need a vintage, theatrical punch, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font projects a dramatic, vintage voice with a slightly eccentric, theatrical edge. Its bold presence and stylized cuts feel ceremonial and attention-seeking, suggesting poster-era display typography rather than quiet editorial text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy weight, carved-in counter shapes, and flared terminals that evoke engraved or hand-cut lettering. It prioritizes character and display presence over neutrality, aiming for memorable silhouettes and a distinctive dark texture in setting.
Lowercase forms show expressive terminals and occasional swash-like inflections (notably in letters with arms and tails), while caps maintain a stately silhouette with sharply defined internal cut-ins. The combined effect is a distinctive black-on-white pattern that rewards larger sizes where the interior carving and contrast can be clearly seen.
