A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and lively, flared stroke endings. The serifs are bracketed and often beak-like, with wedgey terminals that give strokes a carved, calligraphic finish rather than a blunt slab. Counters are compact and round, producing strong black shapes and a tight internal rhythm, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation. Several letters feature soft notches and terminal details that read like ink-trap or cut-in behavior at joins, adding texture at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where impact and texture are desirable—headlines, magazine or book titling, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short pulls, deck copy, and packaging callouts where a bold serif voice is needed, though the dense color and strong contrast suggest avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a distinctly vintage, print-forward personality. Its flared terminals and punchy contrast evoke editorial headlines, classic poster typography, and a slightly theatrical, old-style emphasis without feeling ornate. The texture feels energetic and authoritative, designed to grab attention and hold it.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding serif voice with a crafted, flared-terminal finish—combining traditional, print-era cues with contemporary boldness. Its proportions and contrast prioritize presence and recognizability, aiming for memorable headline typography with a distinctive terminal vocabulary.
The uppercase appears especially weighty and stable, with wide stance and strong horizontals; the lowercase maintains a sturdy, compact look with prominent terminals and a single-story “g”. Numerals are similarly robust, with rounded forms and clear figure silhouettes that match the headline-oriented color of the letters.
