A heavy, compact serif with flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that create a carved, poster-driven silhouette. Strokes are broadly modulated with swelling stems and subtly pinched connections, producing an ink-trap-like bite in tight interior corners. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the shapes favor rounded joins and bulbous curves over crisp angles, giving the forms a slightly inflated, sculpted feel. Uppercase letters read as solid blocks with pronounced terminals, while the lowercase maintains sturdy, single-storey constructions where applicable and a robust, ball-topped punctuation feel in the i/j.
Best suited for headlines and short, high-impact settings such as posters, packaging, and brand marks where its flared terminals and dense texture can be appreciated. It can work for subheads or pull quotes when given generous size and spacing; extended body text may feel overly dark and busy.
The tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage show-card flavor that feels energetic and slightly mischievous. Its flared endings and chunky rhythm project confidence and warmth rather than neutrality, making it feel suited to attention-grabbing, characterful typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif cues with a bold, contemporary display presence, using flared terminals and softened geometry to add charm and memorability. Its consistent, weighty rhythm suggests a focus on strong typographic color and standout word shapes for branding and editorial display.
At text sizes the heavy color and tight counters can reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the distinctive flares and pinched joints become the main personality cues. Numerals match the weight and display intent, with strong, simplified silhouettes that hold up well in headlines.
