A heavy, flared-serif design with pronounced wedge terminals and sculpted, calligraphic joins. Strokes stay largely even in weight but swell into sharp, triangular serifs that create a chiseled silhouette, especially on verticals. Counters are fairly compact and the curves are tightly drawn, giving letters a sturdy, carved-in feel. The texture is dark and continuous in text, with distinctive notches and inward cuts at some stroke endings that add bite and rhythm without becoming ornamental script.
Best suited to display settings where its dark color and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, packaging, and identity work that wants a vintage or handcrafted voice. It can work for short passages or pull quotes, but the compact apertures and dense texture favor larger sizes and generous leading.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, evoking printed ephemera, folk signage, and old-world headlines. Its sharp wedges and robust forms lend a confident, slightly gothic drama while staying approachable and readable.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with assertive flared terminals, producing a strong, characterful face that reads as historical and crafted rather than neutral. The consistent wedge vocabulary across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on distinctive branding and headline impact while retaining familiar proportions.
Lowercase forms keep a strong serif presence and relatively closed shapes, which increases density at smaller sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, with angled terminals that match the letterforms and reinforce a cohesive, engraved look.
