A heavy, compact serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that create a sculpted silhouette. Strokes stay largely sturdy and even, with subtle modulation and strong ink-trap-like notches in some joins, producing crisp interior shapes. Capitals are broad-shouldered and slightly rounded, while lowercase shows lively, somewhat calligraphic contours—especially in letters like a, g, y, and r—yielding a rhythmic, slightly irregular texture. Numerals are robust and display-friendly, matching the angular, flared detailing seen across the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its flared terminals and sculpted serifs can be appreciated—such as posters, packaging, book covers, and logo or wordmark work. It can also support punchy subheads or pull quotes, but its strong personality will dominate longer passages.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, evoking poster lettering, old-time display typography, and storybook title work. Its confident weight and flared details give it a festive, attention-seeking voice that reads as crafted rather than neutral.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic, decorative flavor—combining sturdy, ink-rich strokes with flared endings to create a dramatic, vintage display presence. The consistent use of wedges, brackets, and slightly calligraphic shaping suggests an intention to feel handmade and expressive while remaining legible in bold settings.
The design relies on strong silhouettes and distinctive terminal shapes more than fine contrast, so it maintains presence at large sizes where the flares and notches are most visible. Spacing appears generous for a dense, bold style, helping counters stay open in text samples while still producing a dark, impactful color.
