A heavy display serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and flared stroke endings that create a carved, poster-ready silhouette. Strokes show strong contrast with thick verticals and sharply thinning joins, and many counters are tightened into teardrop or triangular openings. The letterforms are upright with compact internal space, rounded bowls, and pointed interior cuts that give a chiseled rhythm. Numerals and capitals appear robust and sculptural, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, slightly condensed feel with prominent terminals and a distinct, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to large sizes where its flared details and sculpted counters can be appreciated—headlines, titles, posters, and impactful packaging. It can also work for short editorial deck lines or pull quotes when a bold, classic presence is desired, but extended body text will appear very dark and compact.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a vintage, print-era flavor that recalls signage, book titling, and bold editorial headlines. Its sharp interior notches and flared endings add drama and a sense of craft, suggesting tradition and spectacle rather than minimalism.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact through heavy weight, high contrast, and flared serif construction, producing a distinctive, old-style display voice. Its consistent chiseled cuts and wedge terminals suggest an intention to evoke vintage print and signage while staying legible in bold titling contexts.
The dense counters and strong black coverage create a dark typographic color, especially in longer lines, which helps it read as a statement face. Distinctive cut-in shapes on letters like A, V, W, X, and some lowercase bowls contribute to a faceted, ornamental look that remains consistent across the set.
