A sculpted display serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, triangular wedge-like serifs. Strokes are tightly modeled with sharp inner cuts and occasional teardrop/ball terminals, producing a chiseled, slightly calligraphic texture. Counters are compact and the joins create pointed spurs and notches that add sparkle in larger sizes, while the overall proportions read broad and steady with upright posture. Numerals and capitals maintain the same carved, high-drama detailing, giving the set a cohesive, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, short passages, and typographic moments where the dramatic stroke contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It works particularly well for magazine/editorial layouts, brand marks, packaging, and event or cultural posters that need a confident, high-impact serif voice.
The tone is bold and editorial, combining a classical, engraved sensibility with a slightly theatrical edge. It feels luxurious and emphatic—well suited to statements that want to look authoritative, fashionable, and a bit flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that borrows from traditional engraved or transitional forms, then amplifies them with sharper carving, wedge serifs, and decorative terminals for a more contemporary, attention-grabbing finish.
Several glyphs show distinctive internal carving (notched joins and sharp apertures) that increases contrast at small shapes and adds a decorative bite in text. The overall color on the page is dense, with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced serif silhouettes that create a confident, headline-forward presence.
