A heavy display serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with rounded bowls and tight inner counters that create a dense, compact color. Curves transition into stems with sculpted joins and occasional spur-like notches, giving some letters a slightly ink-trap or cut-in feel. Lowercase forms are sturdy and somewhat compact, with a single-storey a and g, a small i/j dot, and a broad, weighty presence across numerals and capitals.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short editorial display where the sculpted serifs and strong contrast can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that wants a vintage, handcrafted or theatrical flavor, and works well in pull quotes or section openers where a dense, confident texture is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and nostalgic, evoking poster lettering and mid-century headline typography. Its chunky silhouettes and flared details feel theatrical and slightly rustic, balancing friendliness in the round forms with authority from the strong serifs and contrast.
The design appears aimed at high-impact display typography: a bold serif with flared terminals and carved joins intended to read as distinctive and expressive rather than neutral. Its forms prioritize personality and period-evocative texture for attention-grabbing titles and brand marks.
The rhythm is lively due to the alternating swell-and-taper strokes and the distinctive terminal shapes, which remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Letterforms like Q, R, and the diagonals show pronounced sculpting that adds character at larger sizes, while the tight counters suggest it will look darker as sizes get smaller.
