A display serif with strongly flared stems and wedge-like serifs that swell into broad stroke endings. The letterforms show pronounced contrast, with sharp, triangular transitions and occasional cupped joins that create an ink-trap-like notch in tight corners. Counters are compact and shapes are sculptural, producing a dense texture in setting; rounded letters like O and Q feel hefty and slightly squarish in their interior space. The lowercase carries stout, compact forms with prominent terminals, and the figures follow the same bold, chiseled rhythm for a cohesive text color at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short-form typography where the flared terminals and high-contrast carving can be appreciated. It works well for magazine mastheads, poster typography, packaging, and brand marks that want a bold, heritage-leaning display voice; it is less suited to small sizes or dense body copy.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, leaning into a vintage, poster-like sophistication. Its flared detailing and high-contrast carving give it a luxurious, headline-forward presence that feels both classic and stylized rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions with emphatic flaring and dramatic contrast, prioritizing impact and a distinctive silhouette. Its sculpted joins and wedge terminals suggest a goal of creating a memorable display face that feels carved, ornamental, and editorial.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes and tight internal spaces create a strong, dark mass on the page, while the flares and sharp joins keep edges lively and crisp. The design reads most clearly when given room—larger sizes and comfortable tracking help the sculpted terminals and interior cut-ins remain distinct.
