A heavy, high-impact serif with flared stroke endings and sharp wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and counters often pinch into tight apertures, creating an ink-trap-like tension that adds texture in larger sizes. The letterforms feel slightly buoyant in their rhythm, with lively internal shaping and occasional notches and scoops that keep the black weight animated. Numerals are equally weighty and compact, with strong vertical stress and sturdy, sculpted counters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent short-form copy where its sculpted serifs and animated counters can be appreciated. It can work well for branding, packaging, and editorial titling, especially in themes that benefit from retro flair or a playful, dramatic presence.
The overall tone reads bold, theatrical, and a bit mischievous—evoking vintage poster lettering and storybook titling rather than neutral text typography. Its energetic shapes and dramatic dark–light interplay give it a charismatic, attention-grabbing voice that can feel festive or tongue-in-cheek depending on context.
The design appears intended as an expressive display serif that merges traditional serif cues with flared, sculptural endings and tightly carved internal spaces. It prioritizes personality and impact, aiming for a distinctive silhouette and strong typographic color in titles and large-scale applications.
Spacing appears generous for a display face, helping the dense forms remain distinguishable in short phrases. In longer paragraphs the strong texture and narrow openings can build a dark color, so the face is most comfortable when given room through size, tracking, or airy layouts.
