A very heavy display serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and deep, teardrop-like counters. The forms show strong internal contrast created by sharp, curved cut-ins and wedge-shaped notches, giving many letters a carved, stencil-adjacent feel without actual breaks. Curves are generous and bulbous, joins are crisp, and terminals often finish in pointed or pinched shapes that read as calligraphic rather than geometric. Proportions feel expansive with wide bowls and a steady cap height, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and pronounced, stylized details that vary from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to large sizes where the carved counters and flared terminals can read clearly—posters, headlines, short editorial titles, packaging fronts, and distinctive wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when a dramatic, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and playful, with a baroque, poster-like energy. Its exaggerated flares and sculpted counters suggest a vintage showcard sensibility—bold, attention-seeking, and slightly mischievous rather than formal or reserved.
The design appears intended to maximize presence and personality through exaggerated flares, sculpted negative space, and rhythmic alternation of thick masses and sharp cut-ins. It prioritizes expressive silhouette and memorable texture for display typography over neutral text setting.
The sample text reveals a lively texture: the alternating solid masses and sharp internal cut-ins create a pulsing rhythm across lines, and spacing feels intentionally display-oriented. Numerals and capitals carry the same carved, high-impact character, making the set feel cohesive for emphatic titling.
