A dense, display-oriented serif with pronounced contrast and sculpted stroke modulation. Stems and arms flare into wedge-like, bracketed serif forms, creating a chiseled silhouette and strong black shapes. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, while curves (C, G, S, O) show smooth, calligraphic swelling that pairs with sharp apexes and tapered joins. The lowercase keeps a traditional structure with two-storey a and g, a compact ear and loop behavior, and a slightly angular, cut-in feel at terminals; figures echo the same flared, high-impact construction.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, posters, and other large-size settings where its flared serifs and contrast can be appreciated. It can add a distinctive voice to branding, packaging, and book-cover typography, especially for projects aiming for an editorial or vintage display feel rather than continuous small-size reading.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a theatrical, vintage-leaning energy. Its swelled strokes and wedge serifs evoke poster typography and old-style display printing, giving text a sense of ceremony and gravitas while remaining playful in the curvature and terminals.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through high-contrast modulation and expressive, flared serif endings. Its goal is recognizability and drama in display typography, balancing classic serif structure with sculptural, poster-like weight and terminal shaping.
The design’s rhythm comes from alternating thick verticals and pinched, sharply tapered transitions, producing strong texture even in short words. Wide capitals and energetic diagonals (K, V, W, X) read particularly punchy, and the distinctive flared terminals add recognizable character at large sizes.
