This typeface is a bold, display-oriented serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved or brushed rather than mechanically bracketed. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with swelling stems and sharp, tapered joins that create a lively, sculpted silhouette. Letterforms are generously proportioned with broad bowls and a relatively open stance, while counters stay clear despite the heavy weight. Several glyphs introduce subtle, angular notches and tapered spurs (notably in S, a, s, and numerals), adding texture and motion without becoming ornate.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated—such as posters, book and album covers, magazine mastheads, and bold brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when set with ample tracking and leading to preserve its dense, sculptural forms.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a vintage editorial flavor. Its dramatic contrast and flared endings suggest classic poster typography and headline styles that aim to feel confident, expressive, and a bit grand.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through high-contrast, flared serif construction that evokes traditional, hand-influenced display lettering. Its distinctive terminals and lively curves prioritize character and memorability over neutral text setting.
The rhythm is energetic: curves often terminate in sharp beaks, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel crisp and forceful. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with distinctive wedge terminals and strong figure shapes that read well at larger sizes.
