A heavy display serif with compact interior counters, pronounced vertical stress, and strong thick–thin interplay created by narrow apertures and deep cut-ins. Stems finish in flared, bracket-like serifs that often form sharp triangular notches at joins and terminals, giving the letters a carved, chiseled profile. Curved bowls are robust and rounded, while crossbars and arms are short and tightly integrated, producing dense word shapes with a steady, blocky rhythm. Overall spacing reads tight and weight distribution is consistent, with distinctive cutaway details that keep the forms from feeling purely geometric.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as posters, mastheads, and bold editorial headlines where the flared terminals and carved details can read clearly. It can also work well in branding and packaging for heritage, theatrical, or assertive identities, especially when used sparingly as a display accent.
The tone is bold and declarative, evoking classic poster typography and old-world printing with a slightly dramatic, engraved edge. The notched terminals add a hint of industrial grit, balancing formality with a showbill-like flair.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive flared-serif silhouette, combining classic serif authority with attention-grabbing notched detailing. Its dense color and sculpted terminals suggest a focus on memorable titling rather than continuous text.
The sample text shows strong headline impact but reduced openness in smaller sizes due to narrow counters and tight apertures; the notched details become a key identifying feature. Numerals follow the same sturdy, sculpted logic, with interior cut-ins that reinforce the high-impact, display-first character.
