A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and a subtly incised, carved quality. Stems are stout and often broaden into wedge-like terminals, while curves tighten into sharp joins and small inner counters, giving the design a compact, forceful rhythm. The serifs read as tapered and bracketed rather than rectangular, and many letters show teardrop or ball-like terminals (notably in the lowercase), adding a slightly ornamental finish. Uppercase forms are broad and blocky with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, readable structure with a moderate x-height and distinct, sculpted terminals.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where the sculpted flared serifs and high contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work well for branding, packaging, and editorial titling that aims for a classic or retro feel, while extended small-size body text may feel heavy due to the tight counters and dense color.
The overall tone is bold and authoritative with a vintage, display-driven character. Its dramatic contrast and flared endings suggest classic poster and headline typography—confident, slightly theatrical, and suited to statement-making text rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a bold display serif that blends traditional serif structure with flared, carved terminals to maximize presence and personality. It emphasizes strong verticals, dramatic contrast, and distinctive terminal shapes to create a memorable, poster-ready voice.
Spacing appears designed for impact: the dense black shapes and tight interior counters create a strong texture in lines of text. Numerals are weighty and stylized to match the wedge-terminal motif, keeping the set cohesive in attention-grabbing settings.
