A very heavy, display-oriented serif with sharply tapered wedge serifs and extreme thick–thin modulation that reads almost engraved. Strokes are largely vertical and columnar, with narrow interior counters, frequent pinched joins, and small triangular or teardrop-like cut-ins that create a crisp, chiseled silhouette. The lowercase shows compact bowls and pronounced vertical stems, while figures and caps keep a tall, posterlike stance with strong black mass and tight apertures.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, posters, and brand moments where impact and character are more important than extended readability. It can also work well for packaging and label-style typography, short editorial callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a dramatic, sculpted serif voice.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage editorial headlines and classic show-poster typography. Its sharp wedges and sculpted cut-ins add a sense of drama and formality, with a slightly eccentric, decorative edge that feels curated rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a statement serif for display sizes, using extreme modulation, wedge serifs, and carved details to create a distinctive, vintage-leaning headline texture. Its forms prioritize silhouette and rhythm over neutrality, aiming for memorable presence in titles and branding.
Spacing appears visually tight in text, and the strong modulation plus narrow counters can cause letterforms to knit together into dark texture, especially in long lines. The distinctive cut-in shapes and flared serifs are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the design a cohesive, signature look.
