A high-contrast serif with dramatically flared stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed terminals that read as carved or sculpted. The letterforms are broad and compactly spaced, with heavy vertical presence and sharp, angular joins that create small triangular insets at corners and diagonals. Counters tend to be rounded and full, while horizontals and crossbars feel comparatively thin, emphasizing a punchy black-and-white rhythm. Uppercase forms are robust and stable; lowercase shows distinctive, stylized details (notably on g, y, and f) that add motion and personality without leaning into italics.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and brand marks where its dramatic contrast and flared terminals can read clearly. It also works well for packaging, titles, and short bursts of copy that need a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice, especially when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical—part vintage poster, part display headline—with a confident, slightly mischievous swagger. Its strong silhouettes and flared finishing give it a crafted, old-school flavor that feels suited to expressive, attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through oversized proportions, strong contrast, and expressive flared serifs, producing instantly recognizable silhouettes. Its stylized terminals and sculptural joins suggest a display face aimed at poster-like typography and bold editorial or brand statements.
At text sizes the dense weight and tight interior spaces can make lines feel dark; it benefits from generous leading and careful tracking. The numerals match the heavy, flared style and maintain strong presence, making them suitable for prominent figures in headlines and signage.
