A heavy display serif with pronounced stroke modulation and wedge-like, flared terminals that give many strokes an incised, carved feel. The letterforms are broad and compact, with strong vertical stress, large bowls, and tight interior counters that emphasize the black shape. Serifs and terminals often taper to sharp points or show subtle notches, creating a lively rhythm across words. Lowercase forms maintain sturdy proportions with a relatively even x-height, while ascenders and descenders are short-to-moderate, keeping lines visually dense.
Best suited to short-form setting where the bold silhouette and tapered terminals can be appreciated: headlines, posters, titles, and prominent branding moments. It can also work well on packaging and editorial display lines where a vintage, carved-serif flavor is desired.
The overall tone is bold, theatrical, and slightly mischievous, balancing classic serif authority with playful, ornamental bite. Its sharp terminals and swelling stems suggest vintage show typography and headline drama more than quiet text setting.
Likely designed as a statement display face that merges traditional serif structure with flared, sculpted terminals to produce strong impact at large sizes. The aim appears to be instant recognizability and dramatic texture, with decorative detail concentrated at stroke endings rather than added ornament.
Round letters like O/C/S show crisp, high-contrast transitions, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) end in sharp, blade-like terminals that heighten energy. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, matching the angular flare motif so headlines and price points feel cohesive.
