A heavy, sculptural serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and sharp, carved-looking internal cuts. The design uses strong contrast and tight pinch points where strokes join, creating teardrop and wedge-shaped counters that read like ink-traps or engraved notches. Letterforms are wide and assertive, with compact apertures and lively, asymmetric detailing (especially in curves), giving the texture a pulsing rhythm in text. Terminals range from blunt to softly bulbous, and the overall silhouette feels deliberately chiseled rather than purely geometric.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, splashy headlines, magazine titles, packaging, and brand marks where its carved contrast and flared endings can be appreciated at display sizes. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when a dramatic, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The tone is bold and theatrical, with a retro display energy that suggests show posters, vintage advertising, and headline-driven editorial layouts. Its sharp internal cuts and swelling stems add drama and a slightly mischievous character, making it feel expressive and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate classic serif structure into a bold display voice by exaggerating flare, contrast, and carved interior shaping. The notched joins and pinched transitions seem purpose-built to create memorable silhouettes and a distinctive texture in large-scale typography.
In continuous text the tight counters and high-contrast cut-ins create a distinctive dark color and strong word shapes, while the flared endings help keep strokes from feeling overly rigid. The numerals share the same carved, high-impact styling, with especially eye-catching bowls and notched joins.
