A heavy, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Stems are sturdy and vertical while joins often resolve into triangular notches, creating a crisp, carved rhythm across the alphabet. Round letters (O, C, G) show strong vertical stress and tight internal counters, and several forms feature teardrop-like terminals and deep cuts that read almost like ink traps at display sizes. The overall texture is dark and compact, with a slightly irregular, engraved quality that keeps the shapes lively despite the mass.
Best used for large sizes where the sharp serifs, notches, and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, magazine mastheads, poster titling, and brand marks. It can also work for short, high-impact text on packaging or editorial pull quotes, where a dense, luxurious texture is desirable.
The tone is bold and theatrical, leaning toward an editorial, high-fashion voice rather than quiet book typography. Its sharp serifs and sculpted cuts suggest tradition and authority, but with a modern, attention-grabbing edge that feels suited to headlines and branding statements.
This design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif authority by combining traditional proportions with exaggerated contrast and chiseled detailing. The goal reads as maximum impact and distinctive texture in display settings while retaining recognizable, conventional serif letter structures.
The numerals are especially characterful, using dramatic curves and cut-ins that echo the letterforms’ triangular joins. Lowercase shows a sturdy, weighty presence with distinctive, sculptural bowls and terminals that maintain the font’s strong display personality.
