A heavy display serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced wedge-like serifs that often read as triangular cut-ins. Strokes show sharp contrast and a chiseled, high-impact silhouette, with bowl joins and counters shaped by angular notches that create an ink-trap-like rhythm. Curves are broad and controlled, while many letters include pointed interior bites and tapered endings that give the face a carved, poster-ready texture. Numerals match the same split-and-shear motif, with strong black mass and crisp internal shaping.
Best suited for headlines, poster titles, cover lines, branding wordmarks, and packaging where the angular cut-ins can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading, but it is primarily a display face rather than a long-form text option.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing vintage editorial authority with a slightly mischievous, cut-paper sharpness. It feels attention-seeking and decorative without becoming ornate, projecting confidence and a strong headline voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through large, sculptural letterforms and a distinctive flared/engraved character. Its consistent notched terminals and high-contrast modeling suggest a goal of creating a memorable, vintage-leaning display serif that stands out in editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the repeated interior wedges create a distinctive sparkle at large sizes, but the dense black shapes and tight internal apertures suggest it will read best when given generous size and spacing. The design’s signature is the consistent use of sharp internal notches across rounds and diagonals, which unifies caps, lowercase, and figures into a cohesive display system.
