A heavy display serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and wedge-like serifs that give the forms a carved, chiseled feel. The contrast is strong: verticals read as dense blocks while thinner joins and hairline-like internal strokes create sharp highlights, especially in letters like W, M, and the diagonals. Curves are round and full but tightened by compact counters and deep notches where strokes meet, producing a slightly pinched, ink-trap-like texture at joins. Proportions feel sturdy and stable, with broad capitals and a large, dark lowercase that maintains clear differentiation between rounded and straight-sided shapes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and branding where a strong, high-impact serif voice is needed. It can work for editorial display settings and packaging that benefits from a dramatic, classic-meets-modern tone. In longer text blocks it remains legible at larger sizes, but the dense color and tight counters suggest giving it generous size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, with a theatrical, headline-forward presence. The flared terminals and sharp internal contrasts add a touch of classic, editorial gravitas while still feeling energetic and punchy. It reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than delicate or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display serif with flared, wedge-like endings and striking contrast to create instant presence. Its forms emphasize impact and texture, aiming for a distinctive, print-forward look that feels both traditional in construction and contemporary in weight and rhythm.
Numerals and capitals carry a strong poster rhythm, and the sample text shows a dense, high-ink color that holds together in large paragraphs. The design’s sharp joins and narrowed internal spaces create a distinctive texture that can feel intentionally aggressive, especially in tightly set lines.
