A compact, heavy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that broaden out from the stems. The forms show low stroke modulation and a strong, steady rhythm, with rounded bowls and slightly pinched joins that create a lively, sculpted texture. Counters are relatively tight and the overall spacing reads dense, giving words a dark, cohesive typographic color. Lowercase shows sturdy, single-storey shapes (notably the a and g) and a short, weighty feel, while figures are robust and simple with consistent mass.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, titles, and packaging where its flared serifs and compact heft can carry impact. It can also work for logos and signage that benefit from a vintage-inspired, assertive tone, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The font projects a vintage, poster-like confidence with a hint of playfulness in its swelling terminals and rounded silhouettes. It feels theatrical and attention-seeking without relying on sharp contrast, suggesting a classic display voice suited to bold statements and characterful branding.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display presence through compact proportions and flared, wedge-like finishing that adds personality and a subtly historical flavor. Its consistent weight and sculpted terminals prioritize recognizable silhouette and punchy texture over delicate detail.
Distinct flared stroke endings are especially visible on letters like E, F, T, V, W, and Y, where the terminals widen into tapered wedges. The sample text shows strong readability at large sizes, though the dense color and tight counters suggest it will feel most comfortable when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
