A bold, high-contrast serif with sharply flared, wedge-like serifs and pointed triangular notches that create a faceted, carved look. Strokes alternate between broad, heavy masses and thin, hairline-like connections, producing a lively texture and strong internal white shapes. The letterforms feel slightly condensed with assertive verticals, while curves are tightened and often end in sharp, tapered terminals. Overall rhythm is intentionally irregular and expressive, with distinctive cuts and spur-like details that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, book covers, and identity work where distinctive letterforms are an asset. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the aggressive notches and high contrast may reduce comfort for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a dramatic, theatrical tone with a vintage, storybook sensibility. Its sharp wedges and sculpted counters feel ceremonial and slightly gothic without becoming blackletter, giving text an emphatic, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended as an expressive display serif that amplifies impact through sharp wedges, sculpted counters, and high-contrast stroke modulation. Its decorative cuts suggest a goal of giving otherwise traditional serif structures a more dramatic, carved, and attention-grabbing voice.
Several glyphs show angular “bite” cut-ins and exaggerated joins that add sparkle but can create busy texture in dense settings. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, while the lowercase retains the same faceted motif with compact apertures and energetic terminals.
