A heavy display serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are broad and generously set, with rounded bowls and soft, bracketed transitions where strokes meet. Serifs and terminals often taper into pointed, wedge-like shapes, creating a chiseled silhouette while keeping overall contours smooth. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact in texture, with single-storey shapes where shown (notably the “a”) and round dots on i/j; numerals are equally weighty with strong curves and tight interior counters.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, cover titles, and prominent branding where its sculpted serifs and strong contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or packaging labels when given enough size and breathing room.
The font reads bold and declarative, with a classic, poster-like authority. Its flared, sculptural detailing adds drama and a slightly nostalgic tone reminiscent of headline typography used for punchy, attention-seeking statements.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through bold, wide proportions and carved, flaring terminals, combining traditional serif cues with a stylized, attention-grabbing finish. The overall intent appears to be expressive display typography that feels classic yet deliberately exaggerated for modern headline use.
In text settings the weight and contrast create a strong black presence, so word shapes feel dense and rhythmic. The flared endings and sharp internal joins introduce lively sparkle at large sizes, but small counters and tight apertures suggest it’s best where clarity can rely on scale and spacing.
