A compact, heavy serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and pronounced tapering at terminals. Stems swell into wedge-like serifs and sharp beaks, creating a sculpted, poster-ready silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be small, giving the face a dense color on the page. The rhythm is upright and steady, with strong vertical emphasis, lively curves, and crisp joins that keep the forms feeling chiseled rather than soft.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, short pull quotes, and display typography where its flared terminals and dense weight can be appreciated. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and branding that wants a vintage or editorial voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, with a confident, old-school display presence. Its bold, flaring endings read as assertive and slightly decorative, evoking headline typography from editorial, packaging, and signage contexts where impact matters more than restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint, using flared, tapered endings and tight counters to create a distinctive display texture. It prioritizes recognizable, characterful silhouettes for titling and branding over neutral, extended reading comfort.
In text settings the heavy color and compact spacing create a commanding block, while the distinctive flares and beaked details add character at larger sizes. Numerals share the same weighty, tapered logic, supporting cohesive headline and titling use.
