A compact, heavy display serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines that pinch into pointed joins and teardrop-like inner counters. The serifs read as crisp and wedge-like with minimal bracketing, while many terminals finish in rounded, ball-like forms that add a distinctive, slightly inked texture. Curves are bulbous and tightly drawn, giving letters like O, C, and S a dense, sculpted feel; diagonals and joins (notably in K, V, W, and X) narrow aggressively, emphasizing contrast. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable rhythm with a moderate x-height, deep bowls, and sturdy stems; figures are equally weighty and compact, matching the font’s bold, poster-ready color.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, magazine display, posters, and bold branding moments where its dense color and high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging or title treatments that benefit from a classic-yet-dramatic serif voice, while longer passages may require generous sizing and spacing to keep counters open.
The overall tone is commanding and theatrical, balancing classical serif cues with an expressive, slightly eccentric finish from its ball terminals and pinched contrasts. It evokes a vintage editorial or headline voice—confident, emphatic, and attention-seeking—without feeling playful or casual.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif: classical in structure but amplified through extreme stroke contrast, wedge serifs, and distinctive rounded terminals. Its goal seems to be delivering maximum impact and a memorable texture in headline contexts.
In text settings the tight internal spaces and high-contrast pinches create a lively, textured line, with strong emphasis on dark mass and crisp highlights. The design’s distinctive terminals and squeezed joins make it especially characterful at larger sizes, where the internal shapes and stress become more apparent.
