A very heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as sharp wedges rather than flat slabs. Stems are robust and vertical, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Joins and counters feel carved and slightly compressed in places, with occasional ink-trap–like notches and tight apertures that add bite to the silhouettes. The lowercase has a sturdy, compact rhythm with round dots and ball-like terminals on select forms, and numerals follow the same bold, chiselled logic for strong texture in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, pull quotes, and display typography where its flared terminals and strong contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a bold, editorial voice, while longer passages may require generous size and leading to keep the dense texture comfortable.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, combining classical serif cues with a punchy, contemporary sharpness. It suggests editorial authority and headline drama, with a hint of vintage poster energy driven by its wedge terminals and exaggerated contrast.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through extreme weight and sculpted serif detailing, balancing traditional serif structure with distinctive, flared terminals for a recognizable display personality.
In the sample text, the weight and contrast create a dense typographic color; spacing appears tuned for large sizes where the internal shaping and tapered details stay legible. The sharp terminal treatment gives words a distinctive, slightly aggressive edge, especially in diagonals and curved letters.
