A heavy display serif with pronounced contrast and distinctly flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like ends. The letterforms are wide and stable, with an upright stance, deep curved joins, and compact internal counters that emphasize the black mass. Serifs and stroke endings feel carved and bracketed rather than slabby, producing a rhythmic pattern of thick verticals and sharp, tapered transitions. Round letters show strong tension between thick and thin, while diagonals and arms finish in crisp, angular flares that keep the silhouettes bold and graphic.
Best suited for headlines, posters, titles, and other large-size applications where its high-contrast flaring and wide proportions can read as intentional style. It can work well in branding and packaging that benefits from a vintage or theatrical voice, and in editorial display settings for short, emphatic lines.
The overall tone is assertive and showy, evoking a vintage headline sensibility with a slightly decorative, poster-like presence. Its strong silhouettes and carved-flare detailing give it a theatrical, attention-grabbing character suited to bold messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through weight, width, and sculpted stroke endings—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a bold, classic display feel over neutral text economy.
The design leans on distinctive negative-space shapes and deep ink traps/joins in places, which increases impact at large sizes but can make small text feel dense. Numerals and capitals carry the same flared, high-contrast logic, maintaining a cohesive, display-oriented texture across mixed content.
