A compact, heavy serif with pronounced wedge-like terminals and flared stroke endings that create a chiseled silhouette. Strokes show strong contrast, with thick verticals and noticeably finer joins and cross-strokes, giving counters a sharp, sculpted feel. Serifs tend to be triangular and decisive rather than slabby, and several joins exhibit small cut-ins that read like ink-trap detailing at display sizes. The lowercase keeps a steady, readable x-height with rounded bowls and tight apertures, while capitals are broad and commanding with a sturdy baseline presence. Figures are bold and curvy with clear contrast, suited to attention-grabbing settings.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short passages where the strong contrast and wedge terminals can be appreciated. It can add a heritage or premium tone to branding and packaging, and works well in editorial contexts for section heads, pull quotes, and title treatments.
The overall tone feels editorial and old-world, with a confident, slightly theatrical weight that suggests heritage printing and headline drama. Its sharp terminals and high contrast add a sense of precision and formality, making it feel authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif authority with sharper, more dramatic flare and tapering, producing a bold display face that remains legible while projecting a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice.
Spacing appears intentionally robust, supporting dense, impactful lines of text without collapsing into blackness. The ampersand and several diagonals show especially crisp cut-ins and tapered terminals, reinforcing the carved, display-oriented personality.
