A heavy display serif with pronounced flare into wedge-like terminals and sharp, triangular joins. The stroke contrast is extreme, with hairline connections and deep inktrap-like notches where strokes meet, creating strong internal cut-ins on letters like E, F, K, and X. Proportions are broad with substantial horizontal presence, yet counters stay relatively compact due to the dense weight. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, upright construction with a moderate x-height, while numerals and capitals show sculpted, high-impact silhouettes and a consistent rhythm of flared endings.
Best suited for headlines, magazine mastheads, large-format posters, and brand marks where its sculpted flares and sharp joins can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and titling that needs a confident, premium voice, but is less likely to be comfortable for extended small-size text.
The overall tone is bold and stage-ready, mixing classic serif authority with a slightly aggressive, cut-in geometry that reads as modern and stylized. It feels premium and editorial, with a dramatic, poster-like presence suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a mix of classical serif structure and exaggerated flared terminals, using sharp ink-trap-like cut-ins to add character and improve shape separation in heavy strokes. It aims for a distinctive, contemporary display look while retaining a recognizable serif foundation.
Spacing appears generous in display settings, and the strong black shapes create a clear, high-contrast pattern on the page. The distinctive cut-ins at joins and the pointed flare at terminals become key identity features at larger sizes, while the tight counters suggest it will be most comfortable when given room and scale.
