A very heavy, compact serif with strongly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give stems a carved, tapering finish. Counters are relatively small and mostly rounded, producing a dense color on the page, while curves show subtle pinching at joins that creates an ink-trap-like crispness. The uppercase is blocky and imposing, the lowercase is sturdy with a two-storey “a” and robust bowls, and figures follow the same weighty, sculpted rhythm. Overall spacing and proportions read tight and economical, emphasizing vertical presence and bold silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where dense weight and distinctive flared terminals can carry personality—such as headlines, mastheads, posters, packaging, and cover titling. It can also work for emphasized pull quotes or section openers, especially where a retro or showcard flavor is desired.
The font conveys a vintage, headline-driven energy with a slightly mischievous, showcard tone. Its flared endings and compact forms add a sense of theatricality and punch, suggesting classic poster lettering and editorial emphasis rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in display sizes by combining very heavy strokes with flared, wedge-like serif structure for a distinctive, old-style-meets-poster silhouette. The compact proportions and pinched joins suggest a focus on maintaining clarity and character under strong weight, prioritizing memorable word-shapes over quiet text neutrality.
Round letters like O/C/G show pronounced interior shaping that keeps counters open despite the heavy weight, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain broad and stable rather than razor-sharp. The question mark and numerals echo the same chunky, sculptural logic, helping mixed-case and alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
