A heavy, sculpted serif with strong stroke modulation and pronounced flared terminals that read like incised or wedge-cut endings. The letterforms are wide and generously proportioned, with crisp triangular notches and sharp interior cuts that create a distinctive, faceted texture across words. Serifs and terminals often expand from the stems, producing a rhythmic alternation of thick masses and narrow, pointed joins; counters remain relatively open for the weight, while diagonals and joins show deliberate, angular shaping.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, magazine or book covers, and bold branding moments where its carved details can read clearly. It can also work for packaging and titles that benefit from a decorative, high-impact serif, especially when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone feels dramatic and ceremonial, with a vintage, poster-era confidence. Its chiseled details and high-contrast rhythm suggest a theatrical, headline-forward personality that can feel both classic and slightly eccentric.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display serif that merges classic serif structure with flared, incised detailing to produce a distinctive, engraved look. Its wide stance and sculptural terminals prioritize personality and impact over neutral text flow.
In text, the repeated wedge cuts and flared endings create a strong patterning effect that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Curved letters show crisp transitions where strokes narrow into pointed intersections, and the numerals match the same carved, display-oriented construction.
