A bold, wide serif with pronounced contrast and strongly sculpted strokes. Serifs are flared and wedge-like, often merging into the main stems with sharp, triangular notches that create a carved, ink-trap-like look. Bowls and counters run broad and rounded, while joins and cross-strokes frequently taper into pointed tips, producing a rhythmic pattern of thick masses and crisp cut-ins. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and generous widths, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and rounded terminals that keep the heavy color from feeling static.
Best suited to large sizes where the sculpted notches, flared serifs, and high-contrast detailing can be appreciated—headlines, editorial display, and brand marks. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, blurbs, menus) when generous spacing and size help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels dramatic and attention-seeking, mixing classic serif structure with stylized, almost calligraphic cuts. Its exaggerated wedges and flowing curvature suggest a theatrical, headline-forward personality with a slightly playful edge rather than a purely reserved literary feel.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional serif model with heightened contrast and ornamental, carved transitions, creating a distinctive display voice while retaining familiar letter skeletons. It prioritizes visual impact and a memorable rhythm across words over understated, long-form neutrality.
In text settings the font builds a strong, dark typographic color with distinctive internal shapes created by the notched joins and flared serifs. The numerals match the same sculpted logic, with curved forms and sharp taper points that read as display-oriented rather than strictly utilitarian.
