A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced flare at stroke endings and sharp, chiseled transitions that create an incised, poster-like texture. The letterforms combine broad, rounded bowls with pointed wedges and tapered joins, producing a strong rhythm of thick curves against narrow cut-ins. Serifs are short but assertive and often blend into the stems via flaring rather than rectangular slabs, while terminals frequently resolve into beak-like or teardrop shapes. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and spacing reads as sturdy and even in text, with distinctive silhouettes in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to large sizes where its flared terminals and sculpted cut-ins can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and editorial display. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, titles, signage) when a bold, retro-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, with a showcard energy that reads loud, confident, and a bit mischievous. Its sharp internal cuts and flared endings give it a crafted, engraved flavor, making it feel more expressive than neutral despite its solid, grounded stance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive, carved serif personality—combining classic serif structure with exaggerated flare and energetic terminals for attention-grabbing display typography.
Several glyphs lean into characterful details—such as the sweeping Q tail, the curved-legged R, and the lively shapes in s, a, and g—helping words form a textured, rhythmic pattern. Numerals match the same bold, flared vocabulary, with strong curves and wedge-like finishes that keep them prominent in headlines.
