A very heavy serif display face with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and sharply tapered, wedge-like joins. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often flare into triangular or beaked terminals, creating an incised, carved feel rather than a flat slab. Counters are compact and rounded, with pinched apertures and distinctive teardrop/leaf-shaped interior cut-ins on letters like C, G, S, and 2. The uppercase is broad and sturdy with emphatic verticals; the lowercase follows suit with chunky bowls, short extenders, and tight internal spaces, producing a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to display typography where its sculpted serifs and dark color can hold attention: posters, editorial headlines, mastheads, labels/packaging, and signage. It will perform most clearly at larger sizes where the tight counters and internal notches remain distinct.
The font projects a bold, old-world confidence—part wood-type poster, part engraved headline. Its dramatic cuts and sculpted terminals give it a theatrical, slightly gothic/victorian tone while still reading as classic and institutional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif display and wood-type aesthetics with exaggerated weight, carved-looking terminals, and high-impact silhouettes for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
Spacing and rhythm feel deliberately weighty, with small counters and strong black mass that favors large sizes. Numerals are similarly stylized, especially the 2 with a sweeping diagonal and the 3 with deep internal notches, reinforcing the decorative, headline-first intent.
