A heavy, compact serif with pronounced flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs, giving strokes an incised, engraved feel. Curves are full and slightly squarish, with a tight internal counter rhythm and sturdy joins. The lowercase shows rounded bowls with a strong vertical emphasis and a single-storey a and g; the i/j dots are round and prominent. Numerals are weighty and blocky with modest shaping, maintaining the same dense, ink-trap-free color as the letters.
Best suited to display sizes where the flared serifs and dense letterforms can project character—such as posters, headlines, packaging, title treatments, and book or album covers. It can also work for short blocks of emphasis text where a strong vintage voice is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and theatrical, with a nostalgic, print-era presence that reads as confident and slightly quirky. Its assertive blackness and flared details evoke poster typography and display lettering rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to combine strong display impact with an old-style, engraved flavor, using flared serif endings and compact proportions to produce a bold, period-evocative texture.
Many glyphs show subtly tapered stroke transitions into the terminals, which creates a carved-stone or woodtype impression. The caps are especially monumental, while the lowercase adds a friendlier, more playful texture through rounded forms and emphatic dots.
