A high-contrast serif with a lively, sculpted color and pronounced modulation between thick stems and hairline connections. Serifs are sharply bracketed and often forked or spurred, with distinctive mid-stem notches and pinched joins that create a cut-in, engraved texture. Curves are compact and controlled, counters tend to be tight, and many letters show wedge-like terminals and small spur details that add bite to the silhouette. Overall spacing reads as display-oriented, with strong black shapes and crisp internal highlights that stay consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and short blocks of display text where its spurred terminals and high contrast can read cleanly. It works well for posters, book covers, branding marks, and packaging that benefit from a vintage-editorial voice and a strong, attention-grabbing texture.
The tone is assertive and dramatic, evoking poster-era and editorial headline typography with a slightly gothic, showbill edge. Its sharp spurs and chiseled contrast lend a sense of intrigue and formality, while the lively interior cut-ins keep it energetic rather than stately.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through ornamental spurs and carved-in details, producing a distinctive display face that feels engraved and theatrical while maintaining a consistent, readable structure.
In text settings the dense strokes and narrow apertures create a bold, rhythmic pattern; the character comes through most clearly at larger sizes where the hairlines and spurs remain distinct. The numerals match the same sculpted logic, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp terminals.
