A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted wedge-like serifs and pronounced tapering through the stems. Stroke endings often flare into sharp triangular terminals, while joins show small notches that read like ink-trap cuts, giving the silhouettes a carved, faceted look. Counters are relatively compact in places and the rhythm is intentionally irregular, with several letters showing distinctive, asymmetric shaping that increases visual tension. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with bold curves and pointed entry/exit cuts that keep the overall texture dark and emphatic.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, poster typography, magazine/feature titles, and book or album covers where its sculptural details can be seen clearly. It can also work for distinctive brand marks and packaging that benefit from a bold, vintage-leaning serif voice.
The tone is bold and ceremonial, combining classic serif cues with a stylized, almost poster-like bite. It feels vintage and theatrical—confident, attention-seeking, and slightly eccentric—suited to moments where letterforms should carry personality as much as information.
The letterforms appear designed to merge traditional serif structure with a more decorative, cut-paper or chiseled aesthetic, prioritizing impact and character over neutrality. Its exaggerated terminals and notched joins suggest an intention to create a memorable, editorial display face with strong contrast and a deliberately stylized texture.
The design creates strong word-shapes thanks to its dramatic terminals and tight interior spaces, but the textured, angular details also make it read as decorative at smaller sizes. Round letters like O/C/G show lively contrast and clipped-looking terminals that add motion, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) appear especially sharp and forceful.
