A heavy display serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like serifs. The forms show strong thick–thin contrast, with scooped counters and distinctive triangular cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like sparkle in joins and curves. Curves are broad and taut, bowls are compact and dark, and many letters feature teardrop or ball-like terminals that add a sculpted, blackletter-adjacent texture without becoming script. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiseled rhythm, producing a dense, high-impact page color with lively interior shaping.
Best suited to short-form display work such as headlines, poster titles, book or album covers, and brand marks that benefit from a bold, stylized serif voice. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers where its dark color and carved detailing can be given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The overall tone feels bold and performative, combining a classic, old-style gravitas with a more eccentric, poster-like bite. The sharp internal cuts and flared endings give it a slightly gothic, vintage flavor suited to attention-grabbing headlines while still reading as traditionally serifed.
The design appears intended to fuse a traditional serif foundation with expressive flared terminals and carved-in negative shapes, maximizing impact and personality in display sizes. Its consistent wedge serifs and recurring cut-in motifs suggest a deliberate goal of creating a recognizable, emblematic texture across the alphabet and numerals.
In text settings the font creates strong word shapes and a distinctly patterned texture, especially where the triangular notches repeat across rounds (C, G, O, Q, e, s). The detailing is most evident at larger sizes, where the carved joins and terminals read as intentional ornament rather than simple weight.
