This typeface is a heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden at stroke endings. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation with crisp transitions, producing sharp joins and pointed interior notches that read almost like ink-traps in places. Curves are full and taut, counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the overall rhythm is punchy and high-impact rather than text-smooth. Spacing appears sturdy and slightly tight in the sample setting, reinforcing a dense, poster-like color.
It performs best in short-to-medium headline settings where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated at size. It is well suited to posters, packaging, editorial titling, and branding marks that need a distinctive serif voice with strong impact and presence.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a showcard and headline energy that feels both vintage and theatrical. It conveys confidence and spectacle—suited to messaging meant to command attention rather than recede into the background.
The design appears intended to modernize classic display serif DNA by combining emphatic contrast with flared, wedge-like endings to create a sculpted, attention-grabbing silhouette. Its detailing prioritizes character and visual punch over neutral readability in extended text.
Distinctive flare behavior is visible on many strokes, where stems subtly widen into triangular or wedge endings instead of terminating bluntly. The numerals match the letterforms’ weight and contrast, maintaining the same sharp, chiseled finishing and compact interior spaces.
