A heavy display serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a sculpted, swelling feel. Curves are round and full, counters are compact, and joins are smooth, producing a dense, confident texture. The rhythm is lively: widths and internal spaces vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, while the baseline and cap line remain steady for cohesive setting. Numerals and lowercase forms share the same chunky, tapered stroke logic, with distinct, readable silhouettes designed to hold up at larger sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, signage, and branding where strong silhouettes and a distinctive serif voice are desired. It can also work well for packaging and label-style applications that benefit from a vintage or handcrafted display tone, especially at medium to large sizes where the flared terminals read clearly.
The overall tone feels bold and characterful, combining a vintage poster sensibility with a playful, slightly theatrical bounce. Its flared endings and rounded heft suggest a handcrafted, old-style display voice rather than a neutral text manner.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum display impact through exaggerated weight, tapered endings, and animated proportions, evoking classic poster and label typography while remaining clear and sturdy in short lines of text.
Diagonal strokes tend to feel chiseled and taper into pointed or horn-like terminals, while round letters keep generous mass with tight apertures. The italic is not shown, and the displayed forms emphasize headline impact over delicate detail.
