A heavy, compact serif with pronounced flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that create a sculpted, wedge-like silhouette. Strokes are low-contrast and strongly filled-in, with rounded interior counters and a slightly swollen, woodtype-like rhythm. The curves and joins feel deliberately softened, while many terminals pinch and flare, giving the outlines a carved, poster-ready presence. Overall spacing reads generous for the weight, helping the dense forms stay readable at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography: posters, headlines, event materials, packaging, and signage where bold shapes and distinctive terminals can read clearly. It can also work for short brand marks or label-style logotypes, especially when a vintage or handcrafted impression is desired.
The font projects a bold, old-fashioned confidence with a touch of showmanship. Its chunky serifs and flared endings evoke vintage signage and theatrical headlines, balancing solidity with a playful, ornamental warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and character through flared serif shaping and softened, carved-looking forms. It prioritizes strong headline presence and a nostalgic, decorative voice over quiet, text-centric neutrality.
Capitals are especially blocky with emphatic serifs, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, upright stance and round dots on i/j. Numerals match the heavy texture and appear designed for impact rather than neutrality, maintaining the same flared, sculpted terminal language across the set.
