A very heavy display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, wedge-like terminals. Many strokes show sharp, triangular cut-ins and notches that read like deliberate ink-trap or stencil-like intrusions, creating distinctive internal shapes and a lively texture. Serifs are flared rather than slabby, with crisp beak-like corners and abrupt transitions that emphasize contrast. Counters tend to be compact and highly shaped, and the overall silhouette feels carved and geometric despite the classical serif foundation.
Best suited to large-size typography where the internal cuts and sharp terminals can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, magazine mastheads, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) where a dramatic, stylized serif voice is desired.
The font projects a bold, theatrical personality with a vintage editorial flavor. Its dramatic cuts and angular detailing give it a slightly mischievous, unconventional tone—formal at a distance, but playful and attention-seeking up close.
Likely designed as a statement display serif that modernizes a classic high-contrast structure through aggressive cut-ins and angular detailing. The goal appears to be instant recognizability and a strong, graphic color on the page rather than neutral long-form readability.
The design’s defining feature is the repeated use of diagonal nicks and triangular voids across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, which creates strong rhythm and a recognizable “signature” in running text. Because the interior shaping is prominent, spacing and wordforms read best when set with generous size and breathing room.
