A highly stylized serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. The letterforms feel carved and angular, with faceted curves, sharp terminals, and wedge-like serifs that often read as chiseled cuts rather than soft brackets. Counters and joins show distinctive notched shaping, creating a crisp, sculptural rhythm; widths vary noticeably across the set, and the numerals share the same bold, cut-in detailing for a cohesive display color.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its chiseled high-contrast shapes can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial display lines or pull quotes, but the dense color and ornate cuts make it less ideal for long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, evoking vintage signage and engraved lettering. Its sharp facets and high-contrast strokes give it a dramatic, somewhat gothic or western-tinged presence that feels ceremonial and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret high-contrast serif construction with a carved, faceted treatment, prioritizing striking silhouettes and dramatic texture. It aims to deliver a bold, vintage-inflected display voice that stands out in large-format typography.
In text settings the dark weight and notched details create a lively texture, with some letter pairs appearing to interlock visually due to the angled stress and cut-in counters. The distinctive silhouette is the main feature, so spacing and line breaks become part of the aesthetic at larger sizes.
