A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and sharply modeled, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often flare into pointed, triangular forms, giving strokes a carved, chiseled look. Curves are full and slightly flattened at joins, with distinct ink-trap-like notches and spur details in places (notably in forms like S, a, g, and t). Counters are compact relative to the thick stems, and the overall rhythm is assertive, with a slightly irregular, decorative modulation that reads more sculptural than strictly bookish.
Best suited to display sizes where its sharp serifs and sculpted contrast can be appreciated—posters, headlines, book and album covers, packaging, and bold editorial openers. It can work for short text or pull quotes, but its dense color and decorative terminals may feel heavy in long passages at small sizes.
The face projects a vintage, theatrical tone—part Western poster, part storybook display—mixing formality with a playful sharpness. Its pointed serifs and dramatic contrast create a confident, headline-forward voice that feels classic and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
Likely designed to deliver a dramatic, classic serif voice with ornamental bite—combining traditional serif construction with flared, pointed terminals for strong impact in titles and branding. The consistent, sculpted detailing suggests an emphasis on personality and presence over quiet text neutrality.
Lowercase shows distinctive character: a two-storey g with a pronounced ear and bulbous lower bowl, a t with a triangular, flag-like cross terminal, and a z with a sharp, extended lower stroke. Numerals are weighty and rounded, matching the strong serif language and reinforcing the display-oriented texture in running lines.
