A bold, wide serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharp, flared terminals that read as wedge-like serifs. The forms are strongly sculpted, with brisk diagonals, pointed joins, and occasional notch-like cuts where strokes meet, creating a chiseled, high-drama silhouette. Round letters show deep, teardrop-like counters and tight apertures, while capitals carry assertive horizontals and prominent beaks and spurs. Spacing and widths feel intentionally varied, producing a lively rhythm that stays coherent through consistent contrast and distinctive terminal treatment.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, magazine and editorial display, and branding where a distinctive serif voice is desirable. It can work for short paragraphs at comfortable sizes, especially in high-quality print or large on-screen settings, but is most effective when given room to show its sculpted terminals and contrast.
The overall tone is theatrical and editorial—classic serif authority with an expressive, slightly mischievous edge. Its sharp serifs and carved joins lend a vintage, poster-like flair that feels confident and attention-seeking rather than quiet or bookish.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif foundation with sharper, more ornamental terminal work and carved junctions, creating a display-capable text serif that stands out in editorial and identity contexts. Its wide proportions and dramatic contrast prioritize impact and personality while retaining recognizable, traditional letter construction.
In text, the aggressive terminals and internal notches create a crisp texture and strong word shapes, but the detailing can become visually busy at smaller sizes. The numerals match the display-forward personality, with curvy, weighty shapes and pronounced contrast that suit headlines and pull quotes.
