A compact, display-oriented serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctive flared, incised construction. Stems are tall and straight with narrow counters, while terminals often taper into sharp, wedge-like points that feel carved rather than bracketed. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S show strong thick–thin modulation and tightened apertures, creating a tense, vertical rhythm. Numerals and punctuation carry the same pointed terminal language, giving the set a cohesive, stylized texture.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, packaging, and poster typography where its dense color and pointed terminals can work at larger sizes. It can also serve as a distinctive accent face in editorial layouts, especially for short bursts of text such as titles, pull quotes, and chapter openers.
The overall tone is dramatic and theatrical, with a vintage, poster-like presence that reads as assertive and slightly gothic. The sharp terminals and compressed proportions add a sense of urgency and formality, suggesting headlines meant to command attention rather than blend into body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, sculpted serif voice—mixing classical vertical proportions with an ornamental, incised terminal treatment to maximize impact in display settings.
The texture in running text is dark and continuous, with minimal interior whitespace and frequent knife-edge joins that create a crisp, engraved look. The ampersand and several lowercase forms emphasize decorative terminal cuts, reinforcing the font’s display character.
