A dense display serif with compact proportions and strong, sculpted forms. Strokes are weighty and largely even, but terminals widen into flared, bracket-like endings that create a carved, wedge-shaped silhouette. Counters are relatively tight, curves are full, and many joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that add crisp texture to the heavy outlines. The overall rhythm is punchy and vertical, with sturdy capitals and lowercase forms that keep a consistent, bold presence in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, event titles, product packaging, and brand marks where bold lettershapes can do the work. It can also support subheads or pull quotes when a vintage display voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a vintage show-card energy—confident, theatrical, and slightly mischievous. Its flared endings and chiseled details suggest old poster typography and turn-of-the-century display lettering, giving headlines a classic-but-loud personality.
This appears designed to maximize impact with compact, heavy shapes and distinctive flared terminals, echoing historical display serifs used in posters and signage. The added notch-like detailing at joins and terminals helps prevent the forms from feeling blunt, giving the weight a more crafted, ornamental character.
The design prioritizes silhouette and impact over open counters, producing a strong color on the page. Numerals match the letterforms with the same stout weight and flared finishing, maintaining a cohesive, poster-like texture across mixed copy.
