A high-contrast serif with sharply wedged, flared stroke endings and crisp, triangular joins that create a carved, chiseled silhouette. Stems and bowls are heavy and dark, while hairlines tighten quickly, producing strong light–dark rhythm and pronounced stroke modulation. The lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height with compact apertures and sturdy verticals; counters feel enclosed and weight gathers toward stress points, giving many letters a slightly ink-trapped, sculpted look. Capitals are broad-shouldered and emphatic, with pointed internal corners and angular diagonals that keep the texture energetic even at large sizes.
Best suited to display-driven applications such as headlines, posters, magazine typography, book covers, and bold brand statements where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially in print-like layouts, but its dense texture favors larger sizes over long continuous reading.
The overall tone is bold, editorial, and slightly theatrical—more headline-forward than conversational. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast evoke a classic, print-oriented authority with a refined edge, lending a sense of prestige and punch without feeling delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through dramatic contrast and flared wedge serifs, combining traditional serif structure with a more aggressive, sculptural finish. The goal seems to be a commanding display face that maintains classical cues while adding angular tension and a distinctive, modern bite.
The design’s distinctive character comes from its wedge-like terminals and the repeated triangular cut-ins at joins, which produce a consistent, faceted motif across letters and numerals. In text settings it forms a dense, high-impact color with clear word shapes, but the tight apertures and sharp details suggest it will look best when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
