A heavy, expansive serif with flared stroke endings and pronounced wedge-like terminals. Stems stay relatively even in thickness, while corners and joins introduce sharp, cut-in notches that read like ink traps or carved incisions. The letterforms are broad and open, with wide bowls and generous counters, and the lowercase shows compact ascenders with distinctive spurred endings. Overall rhythm is assertive and sculpted, balancing rounded shapes (o, e, c) against crisp, angular details (k, v, w, y).
Best suited to display settings where its flared terminals and carved details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title treatments, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging or themed signage where a dramatic, sculptural serif voice is desired, rather than long-form text.
The design projects a carved, ceremonial character with a slightly fantastical edge. Its sharp spurs and chiseled detailing evoke engraved signage and mythic or game-like branding, while the broad proportions keep it bold and declarative.
The font appears designed to combine a classic serif foundation with chiseled, flared finishing to create a distinctive, high-impact display face. Its wide stance and sharp spur details suggest an intention to deliver strong shelf presence and a memorable, emblematic silhouette.
In the sample text, the strong horizontal presence and distinctive terminals create a high-recognition silhouette, especially in capitals. The numerals carry the same flared treatment and angular cuts, with a particularly stylized "1" and a sharp, graphic "7" that reinforce the display-centric personality.
