A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at terminals and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a sculpted, chiseled feel. The letterforms show sharp, tapered joins and crisp apexes (notably in A, V, W, and Y), while bowls and counters are compact, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Lowercase proportions are relatively tall with sturdy verticals and lively, slightly calligraphic modulation; curves transition abruptly into thin hairlines and pointed terminals. Overall rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, with distinctive silhouettes and a bold, inky color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, poster typography, and brand marks where dramatic contrast and distinctive silhouettes are an asset. It can also work for packaging and title treatments, especially when you want a classic serif presence with extra bite and theatricality.
The tone is confident and theatrical—part classic display serif, part modern editorial statement. Its sharp wedges and flared endings add drama and a slightly historical, inscriptional flavor, while the tight counters and emphatic contrast keep it punchy and contemporary in headlines.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif that blends inscription-like flaring and sharp wedges with modern, high-impact contrast. Its construction prioritizes memorable forms and strong page color over quiet neutrality, aiming to command attention in short text settings.
In the sample text, the font creates strong word shapes and a striking black-and-white pattern, but the narrow apertures and aggressive hairlines suggest it will look best with generous tracking and line spacing at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same flared, carved logic, helping maintain a consistent display voice across headings and figures.
