A sculpted serif with heavy, condensed-looking black shapes broken by crisp, triangular cut-ins and sharp internal notches. Serifs read as wedge-like and flared rather than slabby, with frequent beak terminals and pointed joins that create a carved, faceted texture across words. Curves are bulbous and tightly tensioned, while horizontals and cross-strokes often taper into knife-like ends; counters are compact and sometimes pinched, producing a punchy, high-impact rhythm. Spacing appears relatively tight in text, emphasizing a dense, poster-like color and strong word shapes.
Best suited to headlines and large sizes where the sharp notches and flared serifs can read clearly. It can add strong personality to posters, book and album covers, mastheads, branding marks, and packaging, especially where a dense, high-contrast typographic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is theatrical and attention-grabbing, mixing classical serif cues with a more aggressive, cut-paper sharpness. It feels bold and ornamental without becoming script-like, giving text a commanding, slightly Gothic-leaning presence suited to expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with a distinctive carved detailing, prioritizing impact and memorability. The repeated wedge cuts and tapered terminals suggest a deliberate move toward dramatic display use while maintaining recognizable, conventional letterforms for legibility at larger sizes.
Distinctive triangular incisions recur in letters like N, V, W, X, and the diagonals, acting almost like decorative ink traps and giving the type a chiselled signature. Numerals are equally stylized with pronounced teardrop and wedge terminals, keeping the set visually cohesive in display settings.
