A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and sharp, wedge-like serifs. Curves are broad and taut, with deep ink traps and triangular notches that carve into joins and terminals, creating a cut-paper or chiseled effect. The capitals read wide and monumental with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls and compact apertures; counters are generous enough to stay open at display sizes. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with bold masses and crisp, angled cuts that echo the letterforms.
This font is most effective for display applications such as posters, headlines, and large-scale editorial titles where its sculpted terminals and high contrast can be appreciated. It also suits branding and packaging that needs a distinctive, heritage-leaning voice, as well as book or album covers that benefit from a theatrical, crafted serif.
The overall tone is bold and ceremonial, with a vintage showcard energy and a slightly gothic, poster-like drama. The sharp internal cuts add tension and spectacle, giving the face a confident, attention-seeking presence suited to statement typography.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings and carved-in detailing, maximizing impact and personality at larger sizes. Its consistent wedge logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures suggests a deliberate focus on bold display typography with a decorative, engraved flavor.
In text settings the aggressive notching and flared terminals create a lively, high-frequency rhythm that can feel intentionally rugged and stylized. The design reads best when allowed space: tight tracking can cause the angular cut-ins and heavy serifs to visually collide.
