A heavy, high-impact serif with strongly flared stroke endings and pronounced wedge-like serifs. Strokes show clear contrast, with thick verticals and sharper, thinner joins and curves, creating a sculpted, chiseled rhythm. Many forms feel slightly condensed in their internal space, with compact counters and sturdy, blocky silhouettes that stay crisp at display sizes. Terminals vary between sharp points and rounded, ball-like endings (notably in several lowercase forms), adding a lively texture to the otherwise weighty construction.
Best suited for display typography where weight, contrast, and flared endings can be appreciated—such as posters, splashy headlines, book covers, and editorial feature titles. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a vintage, crafted feel, but its dense color and strong details suggest avoiding long passages of small text.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking a vintage poster sensibility with a confident, authoritative voice. Its flared shapes and emphatic serifs give it a showy, slightly whimsical character—more expressive than neutral—while still reading as formal and traditional at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with extra drama through flaring terminals and sharp, sculptural contrasts. It aims for strong recognition and a distinctive, poster-like voice rather than neutrality, balancing traditional serif structure with expressive terminal treatments.
The uppercase set reads especially solid and monumental, while the lowercase introduces more personality through softer terminals and asymmetrical details. Numerals are wide and attention-grabbing, matching the display-oriented weight and contrast. Spacing in the sample text appears tight and dense, reinforcing a compact, headline-forward color on the page.
