A heavy, high-contrast serif with compact counters, rounded bowls, and pronounced bracketed serifs that often flare into teardrop and ball-like terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, while joins and notches create a carved, ink-trap-like bite in letters such as C, G, S, and a. The lowercase mixes sturdy verticals with soft, swelling strokes; dots on i/j are round and prominent, and the numerals share the same chunky, sculpted rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its sculpted terminals and strong contrast can be appreciated—posters, packaging, mastheads, and expressive branding. It can also work for editorial display and pull quotes, especially when a vintage or crafted mood is desired.
The tone is old-style and poster-like, blending a traditional serif backbone with decorative, almost calligraphic terminals. It feels friendly and theatrical rather than formal, with a distinctly vintage print character that reads as crafted and expressive.
The design appears intended to evoke classic serif tradition while adding decorative terminal details for display impact. Its bold presence and carved-looking joins suggest a focus on memorable word shapes and a distinctive, print-forward texture.
Stroke modulation is most apparent in curved letters, where thick outer arcs and thinner inner turns create a lively shimmer. The design emphasizes personality through terminal shapes and internal notches, giving words a textured, stamped look in larger sizes.
