A very heavy display serif with strongly flared, bracketed serifs and pronounced ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet. The letterforms are upright with rounded shoulders and softened corners, creating a sculpted, slightly bulbous silhouette. Stress appears traditional, with thick stems and comparatively thin internal joins that heighten the carved-in rhythm. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and spacing feels generous enough to keep the texture open despite the dense strokes.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short blocks of text where its dense color and decorative serif work can be appreciated. It fits packaging, book covers, and brand marks that want a bold, old-style display voice, and it can also serve for pull quotes or section openers when set with generous leading.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, with a confident, poster-ready presence. Its exaggerated serifs and chunky shapes add a playful, slightly quirky flavor that reads as classic yet attention-seeking rather than reserved.
The design appears intended to reinterpret conventional serif construction into a more expressive, display-forward style—keeping familiar proportions while emphasizing flared serifs, deep joins, and a carved, high-impact texture for standout typography.
Uppercase forms show strong, decorative finishing (notably in C, G, S, and T) and the numerals match the same robust, stylized construction. In longer lines, the heavy weight creates a dark, continuous color, making it most comfortable when given ample size and line spacing.
