A heavy, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced flared, wedge-like serifs that read as chiseled and sculptural. Curves are bold and rounded, but many joins pinch into narrow waists, creating distinctive ink-trap-like notches and a rhythmic push–pull between swelling bowls and tight connections. Terminals frequently finish in teardrop or ball-like forms, and counters tend to be compact, giving the overall texture a dense, poster-ready color. Numerals and capitals carry a strong vertical presence, while the lowercase shows more quirky modulation and irregularly lively details.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, poster titles, book or album covers, and brand marks where its sculpted contrast and lively terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and editorial pull quotes, especially when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing old-style gravitas with a playful, slightly eccentric energy. Its carved, high-drama contrast and punchy silhouettes feel suited to bold statements—equal parts classic and attention-seeking.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through dramatic contrast, flared serif architecture, and expressive terminals, evoking a vintage editorial sensibility while remaining distinctly decorative. Its forms prioritize memorable silhouettes and texture over neutrality, aiming for attention and personality in short-form typography.
The design relies on distinctive internal cut-ins and pinched joins for character, which increases visual sparkle at display sizes but can make small text feel busy. Wide, dark strokes and tight counters create a strong page color and benefit from generous leading and tracking when set in longer lines.
