A heavy, high‑contrast serif with pronounced modulation and sculpted, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show sharp transitions between thick verticals and hairline joins, with frequent inward notches and cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like texture at corners and joins. The proportions are expansive and headline-oriented, with broad capitals and a robust lower-case that keeps counters relatively open despite the weight. Terminals often finish in pointed or curved spur shapes, and several letters use ball-like terminals or hooked ends that emphasize a carved, display rhythm.
Best used for display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, posters, and strong brand marks where its contrast and carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and promotional copy when set with generous spacing and ample size to keep the interior cuts from crowding.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, combining classical serif cues with a sharp, contemporary edge. Its exaggerated contrast and chiseled details give it an editorial, fashion-forward voice that feels confident and slightly provocative rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with amplified contrast and expressive cut-ins, creating a recognizable, high-impact display voice. The detailing suggests a focus on dramatic presence and stylized texture rather than invisibility in long-form text.
The numerals and key caps (notably Q, R, S, and W) carry strong, distinctive detailing, and the baseline forms show intentional curvature and notching that increases texture at large sizes. In text setting, the dense color and spiky interior cuts produce a lively, patterned rhythm, making it better suited to short bursts than extended reading.
