This typeface is a heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and finer joins. Stems and terminals broaden into flared, bracketed serif shapes, often finishing in rounded teardrop or ball-like terminals that give the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. The letterforms are wide with strong horizontal presence, tight interior counters, and a steady, slightly condensed rhythm in the lowercase. Numerals and capitals share the same assertive, high-ink profile, with soft curves and deliberate, angled stress throughout.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority—headlines, posters, covers, and bold editorial callouts. The wide stance and strong contrast also work well for branding applications such as packaging and energetic identity systems where a classic-but-punchy serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, pairing classic serif cues with an energetic slant. It feels confident and attention-seeking, with a slightly retro, poster-like character that reads as both traditional and spirited rather than minimal or purely formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a traditional serif foundation, using flared stroke endings, strong contrast, and a consistent slant to create a dynamic display voice. It prioritizes personality and weighty emphasis over neutral text setting.
The italic slant is consistent across cases, and the rounded terminals add warmth to otherwise forceful shapes. The heavy weight makes small apertures and counters close up visually, while larger sizes emphasize the flared stroke endings and the distinctive, bulbous terminal accents.
