A heavy display serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and sharp, beak-like serifs that create a carved, wedge-driven silhouette. The design shows strong thick–thin contrast, with broad verticals and tapered terminals that often resolve into pointed or triangular forms. Curves are compact and weighty, with tight interior counters and occasional notch-like cut-ins that give an ink-trap or chiseled impression. Overall spacing reads on the tight side in the sample text, producing a dense, poster-ready texture with a strong baseline rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, book and album covers, packaging, and other brand-forward display settings where dense color and sharp terminal detailing can shine. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the tight counters and strong contrast are likely to feel heavy in long text at small sizes.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a classic print feel that hints at old-style headlines and vintage advertising. Its sharp terminals and dense color add drama and authority, making it feel confident, slightly theatrical, and traditionally grounded rather than minimalist.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a chiseled, flared-serif construction—combining traditional serif cues with aggressive, sharpened terminals for a distinctive headline voice.
Uppercase forms appear particularly monumental, with strong horizontals and pronounced serif shaping that emphasizes the ends of strokes. Numerals match the same weight and contrast, with sturdy, compact forms suited to large sizes where the pointed details and notches remain visible.
