A heavy display serif with pronounced stroke contrast and strongly flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the ends of stems and diagonals. The forms feel carved and slightly calligraphic: curves are generous, counters are open, and many joins show a subtle “ink-trap” notch that sharpens the interior rhythm. Uppercase letters read broad and monumental with sturdy verticals, while lowercase shows more personality through tapered entry/exit strokes and rounded bowls. Numerals are bold and stylized, matching the angular, flared finishing seen across the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, short pull quotes, posters, and branding where its dramatic contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work well on packaging and book covers that want a vintage or theatrical tone, especially when set with generous tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing vintage signage energy with a playful, storybook charm. Its exaggerated terminals and sculpted contrast give it a confident, slightly eccentric voice that feels attention-seeking without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold silhouettes, high-contrast modulation, and distinctive flared terminals, creating a memorable, decorative serif for display typography. The consistent wedge-like finishing and sculptural curves suggest a deliberate nod to classic, sign-painterly letterforms adapted for modern, high-impact setting.
Spacing and shapes suggest display-first intent: wide, dark silhouettes and distinctive terminals create strong word shapes at larger sizes. The flaring and notched joins add texture that can visually thicken in dense settings, making line breaks and tracking important for comfortable reading.
