A very heavy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, sculptural feel. Curves are full and rounded, counters are relatively tight, and joins show a crisp, high-contrast modulation that reads as sharp yet not brittle. The lowercase includes ball-like terminals (notably on forms like a, c, f, j, y), while capitals are broad and stable with emphatic verticals and wedge-like finishing. Overall spacing and proportions favor impact and density, producing a compact, poster-ready texture in text lines.
Best suited to display sizes where its strong modulation and flared details can be appreciated—headlines, cover lines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when given sufficient size and spacing.
The font conveys a bold, retro editorial energy—confident, attention-grabbing, and slightly theatrical. Its flared endings and ball terminals add a playful, vintage flavor that can feel both classic and quirky depending on setting.
Designed to maximize presence while retaining a traditional serif structure, using flared stroke endings and rounded terminals to inject character and warmth. The intent appears to be a distinctive display serif that nods to vintage print styles while staying clear and assertive.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes and tight apertures create a dark typographic color, making line breaks and tracking important for comfortable reading. Numerals share the same weight and flourish, with rounded bowls and strong terminals that keep them consistent with the letters.
