A heavy display serif with strongly modeled, flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show pronounced contrast and a sculptural, slightly calligraphic modulation: thick stems anchor the shapes while thin joins and cut-in notches add sparkle. Counters are generous for the weight, and many curves (C, G, S, O) feel carved rather than purely geometric. Details like the ear and top terminal on the lowercase f, the compact shoulder on r, and the sturdy, wide-set numerals reinforce a tightly controlled, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, deck titles, and large-size editorial typography where its sculpted contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding marks, packaging, and event/poster graphics that need a confident, classic-seriffed voice. For extended small text, its dense color and sharp detailing will typically perform better with ample size and leading.
The font conveys a bold, editorial authority with a touch of theatrical elegance. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling create a dramatic, headline-forward tone that feels premium and attention-seeking rather than neutral or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that blends traditional proportions with sculpted, flared finishing for maximum impact. Its contrast and carved terminals are tuned to create a distinctive, premium texture in display contexts while maintaining recognizable, readable letter shapes.
In text settings the color is very dark and impactful, with distinctive internal notches and tapered joins that keep forms from clogging. The overall texture is energetic and slightly angular, which helps separation between letters at large sizes, while the weight and contrast suggest careful sizing for short lines over long passages.
