A compact serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared stroke endings and a sturdy, poster-oriented silhouette. Strokes show clear but controlled contrast, with thick verticals and tapered joins that create sharp interior notches and a subtly ink-trap-like bite in tight corners. The serifs read as triangular/bracketed wedges rather than flat slabs, giving the letterforms a chiseled, engraved rhythm. Curves are robust and slightly squared-off, and spacing feels tight and purposeful for punchy, high-density settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial statements where its flared detailing and dense rhythm can read large and loud. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic, print-crafted feel, and book or album covers that benefit from a strong, vintage display serif.
The overall tone is bold and emphatic with a distinctly vintage, print-forward character. It suggests old-style display typography—part woodtype poster, part newspaper headline—delivering a confident, slightly rugged voice suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with historic, print-inspired flair. By pairing compact proportions with flared wedge terminals and sharp interior shaping, it aims to stay forceful and legible while projecting a crafted, old-world sensibility.
Uppercase forms are blocky and authoritative, while lowercase keeps a similarly weighty texture, producing an even, dark typographic color in lines of text. Numerals match the strong, flared detailing and read clearly at display sizes, reinforcing the font’s headline-first personality.
