A very heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and sharply carved, teardrop-like cut-ins at joins and terminals. Stems read as robust and vertical, while bowls and curves show crisp, scooped apertures that create bright counters and a lively texture. Serifs are compact and often cupped or wedge-like rather than long brackets, giving the letterforms a sculpted, poster-oriented presence. Round glyphs (like O and C) feel taut and slightly pinched by deep ink traps and tapering, and several figures and lowercase forms show ball terminals and distinctive notch details that emphasize the contrast rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes such as headlines, cover lines, and poster typography where the flared endings and cut-in details can be appreciated. It can work well for branding and packaging that wants a dramatic, refined tone, and for pull quotes or short editorial callouts where strong typographic voice is desired.
The font conveys a bold, theatrical confidence with a fashion/editorial edge. Its carved terminals and high-contrast modulation add a vintage, display-centric sophistication that feels simultaneously classic and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to reinterpret high-contrast serif forms with flared, sculptural terminals, prioritizing visual punch and distinctive texture. Its consistent carving and terminal treatment suggest a deliberate display focus aimed at memorable, stylish typography.
In text settings the strong black mass and frequent sharp notches create a highly patterned line, making it most effective where impact matters more than quiet readability. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted terminal language, producing consistent branding in headlines and short statements.
