A sculptural serif with strongly flared stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean forward with a calligraphic rhythm, pairing heavy main strokes with sharp, tapered terminals and occasional spur-like points. Counters are often asymmetric and pinched, producing distinctive shapes in bowls and apertures, while the overall proportions stay broad and display-oriented. The lowercase shows a large, prominent x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, and the numerals echo the same high-contrast, cut-in detailing for a consistent texture in set text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial display where its flared serifs and high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can add strong personality to branding and logotypes, and works well on packaging or cover designs that want a dramatic, vintage-leaning presence.
The tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage show-card energy and a slightly mischievous, decorative voice. Its sharp transitions and swashy details create a sense of drama and motion, leaning more expressive than neutral or bookish.
Likely drawn to deliver a strongly stylized, attention-grabbing serif that fuses calligraphic movement with flared, sculpted terminals. The design prioritizes distinctive word shapes and decorative rhythm over neutrality, aiming for memorable display impact.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and spiky internal cuts create a lively, high-contrast pattern that reads best at larger sizes. Some glyphs exhibit distinctive notches and teardrop-like joins that give words a textured, almost engraved character.
