A very heavy serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like, softly bracketed serifs that give the strokes a carved, swelling finish. The design shows strong contrast between thick main strokes and finer joins, with tightly packed internal counters and a slightly pinched, ink-trap-like shaping at some intersections. Uppercase forms are broad and imposing, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable skeleton with rounded bowls and sturdy verticals. Numerals are similarly weighty and sculptural, emphasizing bold silhouettes over delicate interior space.
Best suited for headlines and display settings where its sculpted serifs and dense weight can be appreciated—such as posters, magazine titles, book covers, and bold packaging. It can work for short bursts of editorial text, but larger sizes and comfortable spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, with a vintage, poster-like voice that feels both editorial and slightly theatrical. Its flared endings and high-contrast stress suggest a classic, print-forward personality suited to bold statements rather than quiet text.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, print-centric presence by combining a traditional serif structure with dramatic flaring terminals and high-contrast modeling. The aim appears to be maximum impact and recognizable texture in display typography.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight counters create a strong typographic “block” on the page; spacing and rhythm read best when given generous leading and moderate tracking to prevent dark areas from clogging. The distinctive terminals and swelling stems become a defining texture at headline sizes.
