A compact, tightly set serif with pronounced flare at stroke terminals and strongly sculpted, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show dramatic thick–thin modulation, with heavy, rounded bowls and sharp interior cut-ins that create a carved, high-contrast rhythm. The letterforms are wide and weighty, with generous counters in rounds like O and 8, and distinctive tapering joins that give diagonals and arms a slightly chiseled, banner-like feel. Lowercase forms are sturdy and upright with a solid, readable x-height and strong, blocky silhouettes; figures follow the same rounded, display-forward construction with bold contrast and flared finishing.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where the sculpted contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks that aim for a vintage or theatrical display voice rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is bold and attention-seeking, with a distinctly old-style, poster-like personality. Its flared terminals and carved contrast lend a decorative, theatrical energy that reads as vintage and slightly playful rather than formal or text-oriented.
The font appears designed to maximize impact through bold massing, flared stroke endings, and dramatic contrast, evoking carved or engraved display lettering. Its wide proportions and assertive silhouettes suggest an intention to stand out in large-format, attention-driven typography.
The design relies on dramatic negative shapes—especially in diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and in letters with notches or inward curves—creating a lively, cut-paper/engraved effect at larger sizes. The weight and flare can darken quickly in dense settings, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity.
