A very heavy display serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and strongly flared terminals. Strokes show pronounced modulation, with deep cut-ins and tight inner counters that create a carved, ink-trap-like look in joins and curves. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with tall, narrow capitals and slightly irregular width behavior across letters that adds a crafted, poster-style texture. Lowercase forms keep a sturdy, compact build; bowls and arches are pinched where strokes meet, and terminals often finish in pointed or chiseled endings.
Best suited for large-size settings such as headlines, posters, book covers, and bold branding where its sharp wedges and carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for short, emphatic subheads or pull quotes, but the tight counters and strong modulation make it less appropriate for sustained body text.
The font reads as bold and theatrical, with a vintage editorial flavor that feels suited to punchy, attention-grabbing typography. Its sharp serifs and sculpted details convey a sense of spectacle and old-world drama rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through extreme weight and sculpted serif forms, combining classical serif cues with decorative cut-ins and flared terminals for a distinctive display voice.
Numerals and punctuation echo the same chiseled, tapered logic, with noticeable sculpting in curves and joins. At larger sizes the interior cut-ins and tight apertures become a defining feature, giving words a dense, engraved silhouette.
