A heavy, high-impact serif with strongly flared stroke endings and beak-like serifs that give the letterforms a chiseled, poster-oriented silhouette. Vertical stems dominate, with sculpted inward notches and pinched joins that create crisp contrast between thick masses and sharp cut-ins, especially in letters like S, C, and a. Counters are relatively compact and often squared-off by the flare geometry, while round letters (O, Q, o) read as sturdy ovals with pronounced internal shaping. The lowercase has a tall, sturdy presence with short extenders and a single-storey a; overall spacing feels generous enough for display, emphasizing bold rhythm over text delicacy.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, editorial openers, and bold brand marks where the flared terminals and sculpted notches can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short emphatic lines on packaging or signage, pairing well with simpler supporting text.
The tone is confident and showy, with a classic sign-painting and poster tradition feel. Its dramatic sculpting and flared endings suggest showbills, heritage branding, and headlines meant to project authority and spectacle.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional flared serif and engraved display forms into a compact, powerful headline face. By combining strong vertical structure with decorative cut-ins and beaked serifs, it aims to deliver a distinctive, vintage-leaning presence that remains legible and cohesive in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Distinctive carved details appear as small triangular/curved cut-ins at terminals and junctions, producing an engraved or woodtype-like texture when set large. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and flare behavior, keeping a consistent, sturdy color across mixed copy.
