A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and crisp wedge-like serifs. Stems are robust with pronounced tapering into sharp, beaked endings, while bowls and counters are compact and tightly drawn, producing a dense typographic color. Curves are carved and slightly angular rather than purely geometric, and several joins show triangular notches that read like ink-trap-inspired cuts at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel monumental and vertical, with strong apexes and chiseled diagonals; lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a single-storey “g” and sturdy, bracketed serifs throughout.
Best suited to display settings where strong typographic personality is desired—headlines, magazine/newspaper mastheads, posters, packaging, and book-cover titling. It can work for short editorial decks or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold, formal, and somewhat theatrical—evoking newspaper mastheads, book display titling, and heritage branding. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a touch of severity and confidence, giving text a commanding, old-world editorial presence.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with heightened drama: thick verticals, sharp flaring terminals, and tightly controlled counters that prioritize impact and authority over neutrality. The carved detailing suggests a deliberate nod to traditional, print-driven display typography.
At larger sizes the crisp wedge serifs and tapered strokes create striking silhouettes, while in continuous text the dense counters and heavy joins can make rhythm feel compact and emphatic. Numerals are similarly weighty and carved, matching the font’s chiseled, high-impact character.
