A tightly set, display-oriented serif with strongly tapered, flared stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical stems read as dense, dark columns that open into sharp, wedge-like terminals, while curves and joins narrow quickly into hairline transitions, creating a crisp, carved silhouette. Serifs are integrated as triangular flares rather than bracketed slabs, giving many letters a chiseled, incised feel. Counters are compact and rhythm is assertive, with a slightly irregular, hand-cut energy visible across bowls, diagonals, and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, posters, and cover typography where the sculpted contrast and flared endings can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for branding, packaging, and short editorial callouts that benefit from a bold, formal voice.
The font projects a dramatic, high-impact tone—part classic editorial, part theatrical poster. Its sharp flares and sculpted contrast feel ceremonial and vintage, lending a sense of authority and spectacle rather than quiet readability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a carved, flared serif language and strong contrast, evoking engraved or calligraphic letterforms in a condensed, modern display package. It prioritizes character and impact over neutral text setting.
Uppercase forms are especially imposing, with spiky apexes and emphatic terminals that create a distinctive, almost engraved texture in words. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same flared logic, producing a lively texture that can look punchy at large sizes but visually busy when tightly set.
