A heavy, high-contrast serif with wedge-like, flared stroke endings that read as small triangular serifs and pointed terminals. The outlines feel sculpted rather than mechanical, with broad, dark bowls and crisp interior counters that create a strong black silhouette. Many joins and corners show subtle notch/ink-trap-like cut-ins, adding texture and preventing overly blunt intersections at this weight. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and compact, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with round dots and prominent vertical stress in curves.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display settings where its weight and sharp flared terminals can read clearly: posters, mastheads, book covers, packaging, and branded pull quotes. In longer passages it will feel intense and space-hungry, but can work for editorial standfirsts or impactful subheads where a compact, high-contrast voice is desired.
The tone is bold and assertive with a classic, slightly theatrical flavor. Its sharp wedges and carved details suggest a vintage editorial or display sensibility—authoritative, attention-grabbing, and a bit ornamental without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a dark, compact silhouette while retaining a serif tradition via flared, wedge-like endings. The carved notches at joins look deliberate, balancing the heavy weight with sharper articulation and a more crafted, print-like finish.
The rhythm in text is dense and punchy, with strong word shapes and noticeable internal cut-ins that create sparkle at larger sizes. Figures are similarly weighty and stylized, matching the angular terminal language seen across letters.
