A heavy display serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that sharpen into small points at joins and stroke ends. The forms mix broad, rounded bowls with pinched “ink-trap” notches and tapered inner cuts, creating strong black shapes and lively counters. Capitals read compact and sculpted, while lowercase shows chunky, slightly uneven rhythm with distinctive, teardrop-like terminals on letters such as a, c, e, and s. Numerals and punctuation carry the same carved, wedge-ended logic, maintaining a consistent, ornamental silhouette across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its bold, carved shapes can read cleanly and provide personality—such as posters, title cards, book covers, and branding or packaging that wants a retro-theatrical accent. It can also work for large-size pull quotes or signage where texture and character are desirable.
The overall tone feels theatrical and storybook, with a vintage poster energy that’s more playful than formal. Its pointed flares and chiseled curves add a slightly mysterious, gothic-leaning character while staying approachable and decorative.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver strong display impact with a distinctive flared-serif signature. The combination of rounded massing and pinched notches suggests an intention to evoke hand-carved or inked traditions while remaining sturdy and attention-grabbing.
In running text the dense color and sharp terminal behavior create a pronounced texture, with noticeable sparkle where pinches and notches open the counters. The design favors silhouette impact and expressive lettershape over quiet neutrality, making spacing and word shapes feel animated even at larger paragraph settings.
