A very heavy serif display face with dramatic, sculpted strokes and sharp wedge-like serifs. The forms show pronounced contrast with pinched junctions and triangular cut-ins that create small internal notches, giving an engraved, ink-trap-like texture. Curves are bulbous and oval with teardrop-shaped counters, while many joins and terminals taper to points or flare into wedges. Overall proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, tight apertures, and energetic interior shaping that produces a lively, patterned rhythm in words.
Best suited to display settings where the heavy weight and carved details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, labels, and editorial openers. It works especially well for vintage-inspired or theatrical themes, and for short phrases where the distinctive internal shaping can drive visual identity.
The tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage poster lettering and ornate signage. Its sharp wedges and carved-in details add a slightly gothic, mysterious edge, while the rounded counters keep it playful rather than severe. The result feels attention-grabbing and decorative, designed to perform as a statement voice.
The letterforms appear intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif construction with exaggerated wedges and sculpted negative space, prioritizing impact and personality over neutrality. The consistent use of pinched joints and cut-in details suggests a deliberate “carved/engraved” effect aimed at distinctive display typography.
The design relies on internal cuts and pinches for character, which can visually darken dense text blocks and create strong texture at smaller sizes. Numerals and caps carry the same carved treatment, keeping the overall palette consistent and emphatic.
