A very heavy, high-contrast serif with compact internal counters and sculpted, flared stroke endings. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp vertical stress and frequent teardrop/ball terminals, producing a carved, poster-like silhouette. Serifs are short and integrated, often bracketed into the stems, while joins and crotches are tightly pinched, giving some shapes an ink-trap-like tension. Overall spacing reads sturdy and dense, with strong verticals and distinctive curve-cut details that stay consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for large sizes where the high contrast and carved details can be appreciated—posters, magazine headlines, title treatments, packaging, and branding marks. It also works well for short editorial pull quotes or event/promotional graphics, while extended body copy may feel dense unless set with extra space.
The tone is bold and theatrical, balancing elegance with a slightly quirky, decorative bite. Its dramatic contrast and tightly carved details evoke vintage display typography and classic print ephemera, making it feel assertive, stylish, and a bit mischievous rather than purely formal.
The design intent appears to be a statement display serif that combines classical contrast with decorative, sculptural terminals to create an immediately recognizable voice. It prioritizes impact and personality in headlines and titling, offering a vintage-meets-modern sensibility through tightly controlled curves and bold massing.
In text, the heavy weight and narrow apertures create a dark typographic color, so it performs best with generous tracking and line spacing. The numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, with recognizable ball terminals and wedge-like cut-ins that amplify the display character.
