A strongly sculpted serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and a distinctly carved, wedge-like serif treatment. Strokes show dramatic thick–thin contrast, with heavy vertical masses and tapered joins that create a faceted, almost incised feel. Counters are relatively compact, apertures tend toward the closed side, and the overall color is dense and dark on the page. The lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably the a and g), while capitals read as blocky and monumental with sharp inner notches and pointed transitions.
Best suited for display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where strong presence and distinctive letterforms are desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, especially when you want a classic, showy look with a bold, engraved feel.
The tone is loud and commanding, with a theatrical, vintage display character that suggests signage and headline typography. Its chiseled flares and high-contrast rhythm give it a slightly dramatic, poster-like energy rather than a quiet literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly recognizable, vintage-leaning display voice by combining dramatic contrast with flared, wedge-like terminals. The goal seems to be maximum impact and a carved, monumental impression that holds up in large, attention-grabbing settings.
In text, the dense weight and tight interior spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the sculptural terminals and internal shaping can be appreciated. The numerals and capitals maintain the same carved, wedge-driven logic, producing a consistent, emphatic texture across mixed settings.
