A punchy serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sculpted, wedge-like terminals that read as sharply cut rather than softly penned. Serifs are pronounced and often flare into pointed, triangular forms, with occasional ball-like terminals and teardrop joins that give the outlines a carved, lively texture. The letterforms are generously proportioned and broad, with compact interior apertures that create dense black shapes and a commanding rhythm in text. Curves (C, G, O, S) show crisp transitions into thin hairlines, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) finish in acute tips that reinforce a chiseled, high-impact silhouette.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headings, cover lines, posters, and brand wordmarks where its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling can carry the composition. It can also work for short editorial pulls or chapter openers when a dramatic, classic serif presence is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is theatrical and editorial, combining classical serif conventions with a sharper, more stylized edge. It feels confident and attention-seeking—appropriate for bold statements—while still retaining a traditional, bookish lineage through its serif structure and upright stance.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and aggressively shaped terminals to create a memorable, high-impact reading texture. It prioritizes strong silhouette and editorial drama over quiet neutrality, giving familiar forms a more carved and emphatic finish.
In paragraph samples the heavy color and narrow counters quickly build presence, so spacing and size strongly influence readability; it rewards larger settings where the cut-in details and terminal shapes can be appreciated. Numerals echo the same carved contrast and pointed finishing, helping headlines and short figures match the typographic voice.
