A very heavy, high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at stroke ends, giving letters a carved, slightly calligraphic silhouette. Strokes are compact and muscular with tightly enclosed counters in rounds like O, P, and e, and crisp triangular notches/ink-trap-like cuts where curves meet stems and at some joins. Serifs read as short, sharp wedges rather than slabs, and the overall rhythm is punchy with strong verticals and lively, sculpted diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Y.
Well suited to headlines and short display settings where strong silhouettes and dramatic terminals can do the work—posters, book covers, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also support punchy editorial pull quotes or section headers when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage display typography used to command attention. Its sharp flares and cut-in details add a slightly mischievous, poster-like energy while still feeling structured and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy massing and sculpted, flared stroke endings, combining a traditional serif foundation with sharper, poster-oriented detailing. Its consistent wedge terminals and cut-in joins aim to create distinctive, memorable word shapes at display sizes.
The numerals and capitals share the same chiseled flare language, with compact bowls and pronounced wedge endings that can create dense, high-impact word shapes. At text sizes the tight apertures and strong contrast suggest it will read best when given space and used for emphasis rather than long passages.
