This typeface is a heavy display serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, expanding finish. The design shows strong thick–thin contrast with sharp joins and occasional teardrop/ink-trap-like notches where curves meet stems, creating crisp interior cut-ins in letters like C, G, S, and a. Proportions lean broad and commanding, with compact counters and sturdy verticals; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with stout, sculpted forms. Numerals and capitals share the same bold, chiseled rhythm, producing a dark, highly graphic texture in text settings.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of text, and prominent typographic moments where a bold, sculpted serif can carry the visual identity. It works well for posters, magazine covers, branding marks, and packaging where contrast and distinctive terminals add character and presence.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classic serif authority with a slightly stylized, retro edge. Its flared endings and sharp internal cut-ins create a sense of drama and motion, making the font feel attention-grabbing and headline-driven rather than quiet or purely bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through flared serif construction and high-contrast modeling, combining classical cues with a stylized, graphic finish. Its shapes prioritize memorable silhouettes and a strong typographic color for display typography.
In the text sample, the dense color and high contrast produce strong emphasis and clear word shapes, but the tight counters and intricate cut-ins make it most comfortable at larger sizes. The distinctive silhouettes—especially in rounded letters and the lively lowercase—give it a recognizably designed, display-oriented personality.
