A very heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and assertive, bracketed wedge serifs. Curves are generously rounded, with frequent ball terminals and teardrop-like joins that give the forms a slightly softened, carved feel despite the strong weight. Stroke transitions are sharp in places, and several letters show small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins, adding bite and improving interior openness. The lowercase is compact with a normal x-height, prominent ascenders/descenders, and sturdy, sculpted counters that keep text from clogging at display sizes.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, poster typography, cover titling, and brand marks where its strong contrast and distinctive terminals can read clearly. It can also work for short editorial decks, pull quotes, and packaging copy when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The tone is bold and theatrical with a distinctly retro, poster-era flavor. Its chunky elegance and playful terminals suggest showcards, packaging, and punchy editorial headlines rather than quiet, neutral reading text.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif authority with extra personality—combining traditional wedge serifs and contrast with playful ball terminals and sculpted joins to create a memorable, high-impact display voice.
Spacing and rhythm feel built for impact: large black shapes, lively inner counters, and distinctive terminals make individual letters highly recognizable. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, aligning well with the caps for strong, attention-getting figures in headings.
