A display serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp, triangular serif forms that read like chiseled cuts. The letterforms alternate between hairline-thin joins and heavy, swelling strokes, producing a pronounced black–white rhythm and a crisply faceted silhouette. Curves are rounded but tightly controlled, while many inner corners and joins show carved-looking notches that enhance separation at heavy weights. Overall spacing is compact and the shapes feel deliberately cut and tapered rather than purely mechanical.
This font performs best in large sizes where its flared terminals, sharp cuts, and high-contrast modulation can be appreciated without filling in. It is a strong choice for editorial titling, poster typography, book or album covers, and bold brand marks or packaging that benefit from a distinctive, engraved display serif texture.
The tone is bold and ceremonial, with a classic, old-world flavor pushed into a modern, high-impact display voice. It feels theatrical and confident—suited to statements, headlines, and branding that wants gravitas with a touch of eccentricity. The sharp terminals and flared strokes add a slightly mischievous, poster-like energy.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif into a strongly sculpted display style, using flared endings and carved notches to maintain clarity and character at heavy weights. Its construction prioritizes impact and recognizable silhouettes over neutrality, aiming for an expressive, headline-forward voice.
Uppercase forms look especially monumental, with strong vertical emphasis and prominent wedge-like feet, while lowercase maintains the same carved logic in bowls and shoulders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, flared construction, keeping a cohesive, attention-grabbing texture across mixed settings.
