A bold serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give strokes a sculpted, tapered finish. The drawing shows medium contrast with subtly calligraphic modulation, mixing broad, steady verticals with sharpened joins and slightly angled stress in rounded forms. Counters are generally open and the curves are full, while many letters feature energetic, angled cuts and spurs that add bite without becoming spiky. Numerals follow the same flared logic, with sturdy silhouettes and clear, old-style-inspired shaping.
Best suited to display settings where its flared terminals and bold color can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, and editorial openers. It can also serve branding and packaging that want a classic serif voice with a more characterful, theatrical twist.
The overall tone feels confident and traditional but with a playful, stage-ready edge. Its sharp terminals and lively curves create a sense of drama and motion, lending personality that reads as slightly whimsical rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with expressive flared endings, producing strong, memorable word shapes. It prioritizes impact and personality in larger sizes while maintaining enough openness and internal clarity to set short passages and subheads cleanly.
Texture across lines is dark and rhythmic, with distinctive wedge endings that remain consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The shapes suggest careful attention to headline presence: strong silhouettes, crisp joins, and distinctive entry/exit strokes that stay legible even as the design leans decorative.
