A heavy serif design with distinctly flared terminals and stout, tapered strokes that swell into bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are broad and open, with generous counters and a lively rhythm created by subtle irregularities in curves and joins. Contrast is moderate but reads as sculpted rather than calligraphic, with thick verticals and slightly pinched transitions that suggest ink-trap-like shaping in places. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a single-story “a” and “g”, a prominent ear on “g”, and ball-like dots on “i/j”; overall spacing feels built for strong presence at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its flared details and bold presence can read clearly. It also fits branding, labels, and packaging that want a vintage or showbill mood, and works well for short text bursts, titles, and wordmarks where character is more important than neutrality.
The face communicates a theatrical, old-time flavor—confident, decorative, and a little playful. Its flared serifs and carved, woodtype-like massing evoke vintage signage and show-poster typography, giving text a punchy, celebratory tone rather than a quiet editorial one.
The design appears intended as a modern take on flared-serif display typography, prioritizing impact and personality. Its widened stance, sculpted terminals, and energetic forms aim to evoke historic poster and sign-lettering traditions while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Diagonal letters (V, W, X, Y) show dramatic, blade-like joins and pronounced flaring that becomes a signature in headlines. Numerals are bold and rounded with strong horizontals and sturdy terminals, matching the alphabet’s compact, poster-ready weight distribution.
