A heavy, high-impact serif with strongly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that read as carved or chiseled. The design leans on broad, rounded bowls and stout verticals, with sharp triangular cut-ins and notched corners creating a faceted, sculptural rhythm. Curves are smooth but terminate abruptly into pointed or flattened wedges, producing distinctive inner counters (notably in letters like a, e, s) and occasional ink-trap-like apertures. Spacing is generous and the overall color is dense, with a lively interplay between thick stems and razor-like internal detailing.
Best suited to display settings where texture and silhouette matter: headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial pulls or subheads when you want a dense, decorative serif presence, but the internal notches and strong shaping suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is bold and performative—evoking poster-era display typography with a confident, slightly showy swagger. Its flared, carved details add a vintage and somewhat ceremonial feel, balancing seriousness with a playful, attention-grabbing edge.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive flared-serif signature, combining classical serif structure with modern, cut-in detailing for strong recognizability. The consistent wedge motifs and sculpted counters suggest an emphasis on branding and headline performance over neutrality.
Uppercase forms feel especially monumental and compact, while lowercase introduces more pronounced notches and asymmetric cut-ins that increase texture in text. Numerals and round letters maintain strong circularity, and the repeated wedge motifs create a cohesive visual signature across the set.
