A heavy, display-minded serif with flared, tapering stroke endings that create pointed, ink-trap-like notches at joins and terminals. Letterforms are compact and sturdy, with broad bowls and brisk curves, and a rhythm shaped by wedge-like serifs and subtly chiseled corners rather than fine contrast. The uppercase reads monumental and blocky with sharp interior shaping, while the lowercase keeps a strong vertical stance and rounded counters; the overall texture is dark and emphatic, with clear, punchy numerals that match the angular terminal language.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and branding where the flared terminals and notched detailing can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and book-cover titling that benefits from a vintage, dramatic display serif, while extended body text may feel visually heavy due to the dense texture and frequent sharp detailing.
The tone is dramatic and slightly gothic, evoking a carved or engraved feel with a vintage, headline-forward presence. Its pointed terminals and notched joins add theatrical flair while still maintaining a confident, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a bold display serif that blends sturdy, classic proportions with incisive, decorative terminal shaping. Its consistent wedge and notch motifs suggest a deliberate goal of creating a carved, emblematic look that stands out in short, prominent text settings.
Distinctive triangular spurs appear across many characters, giving edges a serrated, stylized silhouette that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. The sample text shows consistent spacing and a dense color that supports impactful lines but can feel busy in long passages.
