A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced flaring and wedge-like terminals that broaden into sharp, sculpted endings. The strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, creating a crisp, poster-like rhythm, while counters are relatively tight and often teardrop-shaped. Serifs and terminals feel integrated into the stroke rather than appended, with occasional notch-like cut-ins that add bite and texture. Proportions are expansive and headline-oriented, with compact apertures and rounded bowls that keep the forms chunky and cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its flared wedges and contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial features or pull quotes when spacing is opened up; it is less ideal for long, small-size body text due to the dense color and tight counters.
The overall tone is energetic and theatrical, with a confident, vintage show-card feel. Its bold slant and flared terminals add a sporty swagger, while the sharp wedges and high contrast push it toward a dramatic, attention-grabbing voice rather than a quiet literary one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stylized, flared serif language—combining classic serif cues with exaggerated, sculptural terminals and a forward-leaning stance. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and punchy texture for attention-driven typography.
In the sample text the tight internal spaces and busy terminals create a dense color, especially in longer lines. The design reads best when given room to breathe; generous tracking and leading help preserve clarity and keep the sculpted terminals from visually colliding.
