A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced contrast and strongly shaped terminals. Stems and arms flare into wedge-like, bracketed serifs, creating beak-like endings on many letters and a sculpted, almost carved rhythm. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and several joins show sharp internal notches that add bite and texture at large sizes. The overall construction stays upright and stable, with broad proportions and a firm baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold editorial moments where the sculpted serifs and high contrast can be appreciated. It can work well for packaging and branding that wants a traditional-yet-flamboyant voice, and for short pull quotes or titles where dense color and strong silhouettes are an asset.
The tone is bold and declarative, combining a traditional serif foundation with showy, slightly theatrical detailing. It reads as classic and authoritative, but with a playful swagger from the exaggerated terminals and punchy silhouettes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif vocabulary, using flared terminals and sharp interior shaping to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture. It prioritizes presence and character over neutral body-text restraint.
The numerals match the weight and contrast of the letters, with compact interiors and strong terminal shaping that keeps the set cohesive in headlines. The lowercase maintains a steady x-height while preserving the same flared, chiseled treatment, giving text a dense, poster-like color rather than a light reading texture.
