A decorative serif with sturdy, rectangular construction and pronounced spurred terminals. Strokes are mostly straight and orthogonal, with occasional angled joins, creating a mechanical, monolinear feel moderated by modest contrast. Serifs read as bracketless, bar-like extensions, often paired with small cut-ins and notch-like details that give the letterforms a stamped, engineered character. Proportions vary noticeably by glyph, with tall, narrow capitals and compact lowercase forms; counters tend to be squarish and enclosed, and crossbars sit relatively high, reinforcing a rigid, architectural rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, signage, and packaging where its spurred terminals and notched construction can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial callouts or book-cover titling, particularly in historical or industrial-themed designs, and benefits from larger sizes and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is vintage-industrial and slightly quirky, evoking signage, old catalog printing, and period display typography. Its sharp terminals and notched details add a faintly ominous, noir energy, while the steady vertical emphasis keeps it authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif structure through a rigid, engineered geometry, adding decorative notches and emphatic terminals for instant personality. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and period flavor over quiet neutrality, aiming for strong presence in titles and branded phrases.
In text, the dense internal detailing and tight apertures create a dark, patterned texture that becomes more ornamental as sizes decrease. The font’s distinctive terminals and squared bowls make it especially recognizable in short phrases, while long paragraphs can feel visually busy without generous leading.
