This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and triangular cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like bite at joins and terminals. Strokes swing between very thick verticals and hairline thins, giving letters a carved, sculptural presence. Curves are broad and taut, with crisp apexes on forms like A, V, W, and a sharply notched, stylized Q tail. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls and pronounced terminal shaping, while numerals echo the same chiseled, triangular logic for a cohesive, decorative rhythm.
Best suited to display typography where its sharp wedges and high contrast can be appreciated—headlines, magazine features, poster titles, book or album covers, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where a formal, attention-grabbing voice is desired.
The overall tone feels dramatic and ceremonial—classic in structure but with a distinctly stylized, almost engraved flair. The sharp wedges and notches add tension and momentum, suggesting editorial sophistication with a hint of fantasy or vintage poster energy.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model with more aggressive, chiseled terminals and deliberate notches, emphasizing theatrical contrast and a memorable silhouette. It prioritizes visual impact and stylistic character, especially in larger sizes.
The design favors strong silhouette and contrast over quiet text neutrality, with distinctive terminals and counters that read as intentionally ornamental. In larger settings the triangular details become a key part of the personality, while in smaller settings they may merge visually due to the tight hairlines and cut-ins.
