A heavy, decorative serif with compact proportions and pronounced, bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness, with sharp beak-like joins and angular shaping in curves that gives counters a chiseled, faceted feel. Capitals are tall and blocky with emphatic top and bottom serifs, while the lowercase keeps sturdy stems and relatively closed apertures, producing a dense color in text. Numerals follow the same robust, carved construction and sit confidently with broad silhouettes and strong terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, book covers, and branding where its distinctive serif shapes can be appreciated. It can also work for short blocks of emphasis text—pull quotes or section headers—where a dense, historic tone is desired.
The overall tone feels gothic and vintage, evoking a carved or printed display aesthetic with a theatrical, old-world presence. Its sharp serifs and angular curvature suggest tradition and drama more than neutrality, giving headlines a slightly mysterious, storybook flavor.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with more angular, stylized terminals, creating a strong display face that feels carved and ornamental while remaining structurally consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and rhythmic, with strong vertical emphasis and consistent serif treatment across cases and figures. The distinctive hooked and beaked details on several letters add a signature, ornamental personality that reads clearly at larger sizes.
