A heavy, display-oriented serif with strongly flared stroke endings and sharp wedge-like serifs. The design shows pronounced thick–thin contrast and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic modulation that produces pointed terminals and triangular notches at joins. Bowls are full but often tightened by small apertures, while joins and curves create dark, sculpted counters; diagonals and cross-strokes tend to finish in tapered, blade-like tips. Overall spacing reads tight and dense, reinforcing a solid, poster-friendly texture in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, posters, and packaging where strong contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial display lines or pull quotes when a dense, authoritative presence is desired, but it will feel heavy for long passages.
The tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage editorial feel that suggests classic headlines, circus or playbill energy, and emphatic storytelling. Its sharp flares and dramatic contrast give it a confident, slightly gothic-leaning gravitas without becoming blackletter.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through exaggerated contrast and flared finishing, blending serif tradition with a sharpened, decorative edge. It prioritizes character and silhouette for display use, creating a memorable, high-ink texture that reads as classic yet emphatic.
Lowercase forms lean toward a single-storey construction for several letters (notably a and g), helping maintain a compact, punchy texture. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and pointed terminals, keeping the set cohesive for titling and numbering.
