A heavy, display-oriented serif with strongly flared stems and pronounced bracketed terminals that create a carved, sculptural texture. The design shows sharp contrast between robust verticals and slimmer connecting strokes, with broad, stable proportions and generous counters that keep the forms open at large sizes. Serifs are wedge-like and often asymmetrical in feel, with swelling into terminals that gives letters a dynamic, slightly calligraphic stress without becoming italic. Curves are full and round, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm alternates between blocky vertical emphasis and lively, tapered finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and branding where strong presence and texture are desirable. It excels in posters, packaging, and book or album covers, and can work for short pull quotes or section headers when you want a classic, dramatic tone rather than a neutral reading face.
The font projects a bold, vintage-leaning authority with a dramatic, headline-first personality. Its flared endings and high-impact silhouettes evoke classic editorial and poster typography, bringing a sense of showmanship and confident emphasis to short text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through flared serif anatomy and bold, sculpted silhouettes, prioritizing character and visibility in large sizes. Its forms balance classic serif cues with expressive terminals to create a distinctive display voice for editorial and promotional typography.
Lowercase forms retain a substantial footprint and readable apertures, while distinctive terminals (notably on letters like a, g, j, y) add character and motion. Numerals are similarly weighty and attention-grabbing, designed to hold their own in display settings alongside capitals.
