A very heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and sharp, triangular shaping throughout. The strokes move between thick, sculpted stems and comparatively fine hairline connections, creating a carved, chiseled rhythm rather than a smooth book-seriffed flow. Serifs often resolve as pointed wedges instead of flat slabs, and many joins and counters feel slightly pinched or tapered, giving the letterforms a faceted, cut-from-solid look. Proportions are sturdy with a conventional x-height, while curves (C, O, S, 8) are bold and round but finished with crisp, angled ends that emphasize contrast and directionality.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its wedge terminals and contrast can be appreciated, such as magazine headlines, poster typography, book-cover display, and bold branding moments. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when ample size and spacing preserve its sharp details.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a vintage editorial flavor that evokes engraved lettering and classic headline typography. Its sharp wedges and dramatic contrast project authority and showmanship, reading as formal yet energetic rather than delicate or understated.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that merges classic, engraved cues with a modern, bold display presence. By using flared terminals and sharply tapered transitions, it aims to deliver strong recognition and a premium editorial feel in attention-grabbing contexts.
The design leans on strong silhouettes and distinctive terminals, so it retains impact at headline sizes and in short bursts of text. Several lowercase forms show pronounced shaping in entry/exit strokes and terminals, reinforcing the flared, carved aesthetic across the set.
