A very heavy, high-contrast serif with wide proportions and crisp, triangular wedge-like terminals. Strokes shift abruptly between thick stems and hairline joins, with frequent flare and notched detailing at the ends of arms and diagonals. Serifs are sharp and sculpted rather than blocky, and several forms carry expressive, swashy finishing strokes (notably in S/s, Q, and some diagonals like V/W/X). Lowercase has a sturdy, compact rhythm with a relatively moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and ball terminals on letters like f and j, producing a dense, ink-trap-like texture in continuous text.
Best suited to large sizes where the carved details and sharp serifs can be appreciated—headlines, mastheads, posters, and book or album covers. It can also work for short brand phrases and packaging that benefits from a classic, dramatic voice, but the dense color suggests keeping longer text to generous sizes and spacing.
The overall tone is theatrical and ornamental, evoking antique printing, poster headlines, and Victorian-era display typography. Its sharp cuts, flared terminals, and high-contrast silhouettes feel assertive and dramatic, with a slightly quirky, decorative bite that reads as traditional but attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif structure with showy, engraved-like terminal treatments and amplified contrast, prioritizing impact and character over neutrality. It aims to provide a bold, classic voice for display settings while retaining familiar serif proportions and readable letter skeletons.
In the sample text the color is very dark and compact, with tight internal counters and a strong top-line presence from heavy capitals and wedge serifs. The numerals follow the same bold, sculpted logic with prominent curves and sharp terminal cuts, reinforcing a display-forward character.
