A very heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed serifs that often finish in rounded, ball-like terminals. The letterforms are broad and energetic, with compact internal counters and a slightly bouncy baseline feel created by angled stems and tapered joins. Curves are full and high-contrast, while serifs and terminals add a sculpted, poster-like silhouette that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used at medium to large sizes for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its heavy contrast and decorative terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial callouts or section headers when a dramatic, retro-leaning serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, mixing classic serif cues with a lively italic swagger. It reads as retro-spirited and attention-seeking, with a showy, headline-friendly confidence that feels suited to expressive branding and punchy messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with amplified weight, contrast, and italic motion for maximum impact. Its sculpted terminals and assertive rhythm suggest a display-focused typeface meant to stand out rather than disappear into long-form text.
The lowercase shows more personality through rounded endings and soft, bulbous terminals, while the capitals remain blocky and emphatic. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, sculpted construction, keeping the set visually cohesive in display sizes where the ink traps and tight counters won’t close up.
