A heavy display serif with pronounced contrast and flared stroke endings that swell into soft, bracketed terminals. The letterforms are wide and confident, with rounded bowls, deep ink traps and notches in joins, and lively curvature in diagonals. Serifs feel sculpted rather than flat, often tapering into wedge-like tips, giving the face a carved, poster-ready rhythm. Lowercase shows single-storey forms and a strongly shaped, calligraphic stress, while numerals are similarly chunky and high-impact with dramatic thick–thin transitions.
Best suited for headlines and short display settings where the bold contrast and flared endings can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, product packaging, and expressive branding. It can also work for logotypes and mastheads that want a vintage, showman-like presence, but is likely most comfortable at larger sizes rather than long passages.
The overall tone is bold and showy, evoking vintage signage and theatrical poster typography. Its exaggerated contrast and swelling terminals create a playful, slightly mischievous voice that reads as retro and attention-seeking rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif silhouette, combining high-contrast display proportions with flared, sculptural terminals for a retro, poster-oriented look. Its distinctive joins and energetic curves suggest an emphasis on character and memorability over neutrality.
Counters are relatively tight for the weight, which boosts punch at large sizes while making internal spaces feel compact in dense text. Several glyphs lean into distinctive detailing—curly terminals, scooped joins, and sharp spur-like accents—adding personality and a hand-tooled flavor across the set.
