A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that create a carved, sculptural silhouette. Strokes show clear contrast, with thin joins and pronounced swelling into ends that gives many letters a bulbous, wedge-like finish. Counters are compact and rounded, apertures tend to be tight, and the overall rhythm is energetic with slightly uneven, calligraphic-like pressure changes. Lowercase forms are robust and compact, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and prominent, teardrop-like dots on “i” and “j,” reinforcing the decorative, headline character.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form display settings where impact and personality are primary. It can work well for branding and packaging that wants a vintage or theatrical flavor, and for editorial titles where a strong, decorative serif is needed rather than long-form body readability.
The font projects a vintage, show-card personality—bold, theatrical, and slightly mischievous. Its flaring strokes and dramatic terminals evoke classic poster typography and old-time storefront lettering, lending a playful sense of spectacle while still reading as confident and authoritative.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms with dramatic flare and contrast, prioritizing a bold, ornamental texture. Its consistent terminal language and compact counters suggest a focus on memorable display typography that reads clearly at larger sizes while delivering a distinctive, retro-leaning voice.
The figures are similarly stylized, with strong curves and distinctive terminal shaping that keeps numerals visually consistent with the letterforms. In text settings, the dense color and tight internal spaces make it feel most at home at larger sizes where its swelling terminals and contrast can be appreciated.
