A sculpted serif display face with wedge-like terminals and flared stem endings that create a chiseled, almost cut-paper silhouette. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, with pointed interior joins and occasional triangular notches that read like ink-trap cuts at sharp angles. Uppercase proportions are broad and commanding, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, compact rhythm with pronounced bowls and tapered entry/exit strokes. Overall spacing and forms favor bold, graphic massing over delicate detail, giving the set a highly patterned texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, magazine or book titles, brand marks, and packaging where the dramatic contrast and carved details can be appreciated. It works especially well for short phrases and prominent typographic moments, and is less optimized for small-size continuous reading where the sharp cut-ins can visually crowd.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing vintage signage energy with a modern, graphic sharpness. Its angular cuts and swelling terminals feel ceremonial and attention-seeking, suggesting headlines meant to feel bold, stylized, and a bit mischievous rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold, sculptural forms—combining classical serif structure with flared terminals and angular cut details to produce a distinctive, logo-friendly texture. The goal reads as expressive display typography that feels both retro-influenced and graphically contemporary.
The distinctive triangular cuts are especially noticeable in diagonals and joins, which can create lively sparkle at large sizes and denser, more textured color in paragraph-like settings. Numerals follow the same flared, sculpted logic, with strong silhouettes that read well as figures in display contexts.
