A heavy display serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and strongly bracketed serifs that create a carved, sculptural silhouette. The design relies on bold verticals paired with sharply tapered joins and cut-in notches, producing lively interior shaping and an ink-trap-like bite at some corners. Round letters show a distinctive teardrop/ball-terminal behavior and deep, asymmetrical modulation, while diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Y read crisp and assertive. Lowercase forms are compact and robust, with a single-storey a and g, a small, rounded i/j dot, and short, sturdy ascenders and descenders that keep the texture dense and punchy.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared stroke endings, deep brackets, and cut-in details can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, packaging titles, mastheads, and book or album covers. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a classic-but-assertive serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is theatrical and authoritative, mixing old-style warmth with a poster-like swagger. It evokes traditional print and editorial typography, but with enough sharpness and stylized swelling to feel attention-grabbing and slightly eccentric.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, high-impact serif voice that nods to classical forms while amplifying them with pronounced flaring, sharp joins, and decorative terminals for display-driven typography.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for a display face, helping counters stay open despite the dense strokes. Numerals are bold and characterful, with noticeable contrast and curved tails (especially in 2, 3, and 9) that reinforce the font’s ornamental, headline-first personality.
