A heavy display serif with dramatically flared stroke endings and compact internal counters. The letterforms are broad and squat, with rounded joins and wedge-like, subtly bracketed terminals that create a carved, poster-ready silhouette. Contrast is pronounced, especially in the way stems swell toward the ends, and the overall rhythm alternates between sturdy verticals and scooped, concave curves (notably in S, C, and G). Lowercase forms are similarly robust, with short extenders, a large presence on the baseline, and distinct, weighty punctuation-like dots on i and j.
This font performs best in large-scale settings where its flared terminals and compact counters can be appreciated—posters, event headlines, storefront signage, packaging, and bold logotypes. It can also work for short subheads or callouts when set with ample tracking to preserve clarity.
The tone is bold and theatrical, leaning into a retro showcard feel that reads as lively and slightly whimsical rather than formal. Its swelling terminals and soft, sculpted shapes give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to headlines and playful branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive flared-serif profile, combining sculpted, swelling terminals with broad proportions to create a memorable display voice. It prioritizes personality and headline presence over neutral text readability.
Spacing appears generous for a display cut, helping the dense shapes avoid clogging at larger sizes. Numerals are chunky and stylized, matching the flared logic of the letters and maintaining a consistent, poster-oriented color across lines of text.
