A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced stroke modulation and compact internal counters. Serifs are expressive and often flared or bracketed into the stems, with frequent ball terminals and teardrop-like finishes that give corners a soft, sculpted feel. Curves are broad and somewhat condensed in their inner space (notably in C, S, and the bowls), while verticals read sturdy and poster-ready; overall rhythm is lively, with noticeable alternation between thick main strokes and sharply tapered joins.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and book-cover titling where the dramatic contrast and decorative terminals can hold attention. It can also work for short bursts of editorial or branding text when the goal is a classic, character-forward voice rather than neutral readability at small sizes.
The tone feels vintage and theatrical, combining old-style warmth with showy, decorative details. It suggests classic signage and editorial display work—confident and slightly playful—where distinctive terminals and swells are meant to be noticed.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif foundation with ornamental, high-impact detailing—especially through flared serifs and ball terminals—to create a bold display face for attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals present strong, emblem-like silhouettes, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure but add personality through terminals (e.g., the ear and tail treatments) and unevenly weighted curves. Figures are bold and characterful, with visible calligraphic stress that keeps the set cohesive in large sizes.
