A heavy, display-oriented serif with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel, but terminals flare into wedge-like serif forms that create pointed notches and small ink-trap-style cut-ins at joins and corners. The bowls are rounded and full, horizontals read sturdy, and the overall texture is dense with a slightly irregular, carved silhouette. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward structure with a clear two-storey “a” and single-storey “g”, while numerals are bold and round with distinctive spur-like terminals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where its flared terminals and bold silhouette can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial titles, product packaging, and event graphics that want a retro or theatrical tone, while longer passages may feel visually busy due to the frequent notches and sharp terminals.
The sharp flares and scooped corners give it a theatrical, vintage personality—somewhere between carnival signage and storybook chapter headings. Its confident mass and spiky details feel energetic and slightly mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a bold, approachable serif voice, using flared terminals and corner cut-ins to create character and strong recognition. It prioritizes display clarity and a distinctive texture over quiet, text-oriented neutrality.
Spacing appears generous for a display face, helping the pointed terminals avoid clashing at larger sizes. The design’s repeated corner cut-ins create a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a distinctive stamped or woodcut-like impression in text.
