A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring and wedge-like terminals that create a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Stems are robust with sharp tapering into pointed or beaked endings, while bowls are generous and rounded, producing a lively blackletter-adjacent energy without becoming ornate. The overall construction is upright and stable, with compact counters in many letters and a tightly packed, ink-rich silhouette that reads as bold and emphatic. Numerals share the same flared, chiseled terminal behavior, keeping texture consistent across text and display lines.
It performs best at display sizes for headlines, cover lines, posters, and bold editorial typography where its flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a vintage-meets-dramatic tone, especially for short names, slogans, and prominent callouts.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing a classic editorial seriousness with a slightly vintage, poster-like swagger. Its sharp flares and high-contrast rhythm give it a dramatic, attention-grabbing voice that feels suited to headlines and statement typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable, flared serif signature—combining strong vertical presence, sculpted terminals, and high contrast to create memorable word shapes for display-led communication.
The font’s distinctive identity comes from its consistent terminal vocabulary—many strokes end in angled, pointed wedges rather than delicate hairline serifs—creating strong word shapes and a textured line. In longer settings the dense weight and tight internal spaces can make the overall color quite dark, emphasizing impact over quiet readability.
