A decorative serif with wedge-like serifs and sharply chiseled inner cuts that create striking white shapes inside the black mass. Strokes show strong thick–thin contrast, with rounded bowls and abrupt, angular notches at joins and terminals. Counters are often asymmetrically carved, producing a lively, irregular rhythm across words. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, compact build with prominent tops and heavy shoulders, while capitals feel monumental and sculptural. Numerals echo the same carved, cut-in construction, with distinctive interior apertures and pointed transitions.
Best used for headlines and short display copy where its carved details and contrast can be appreciated—posters, event titles, book or album covers, and bold branding moments. It can also work for packaging and labels when set with generous spacing and ample size to keep the interior cuts from filling in.
The overall tone is dramatic and showy, evoking a vintage, poster-like sensibility with a slightly gothic or baroque flair. The deep cuts and swelling forms add a theatrical, high-impact voice that feels suited to attention-grabbing display settings rather than quiet text work.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions with a sculpted, cut-paper or engraved look, emphasizing internal carving and dramatic contrast to maximize impact in display typography.
Letterforms frequently feature teardrop-like internal openings and sharp diagonal scoops, which add texture at larger sizes but can visually crowd at small sizes. The color on the page is very dark and dense, with punctuation and narrow shapes (like i/j) relying on strong dots and tight joins to remain legible.
