A very heavy, upright serif with broad, rounded bowls and stout stems that keep contrast low. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often flare into forked or spurred terminals, producing a chiseled, ornamental edge without becoming a slab. Counters tend to be compact, and many joins show teardrop/ink-trap-like notches that add bite at interior corners. The overall rhythm is chunky and emphatic, with slightly irregular, display-oriented proportions and a lively, variable silhouette from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to large sizes where the forked/spurred terminals and interior notches can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and bold branding. It can also work on packaging or labels where a vintage, high-impact voice is needed, but will generally want generous sizing and spacing for comfortable reading.
The tone is bold and theatrical, evoking old posters and storefront lettering. Its spurred terminals and punched-in corners give it a quirky, hand-cut feel—confident, a bit mischievous, and unmistakably attention-seeking.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that blends traditional bracketed serifs with ornamental spurs and carved-looking joins. Its goal is to deliver strong presence and nostalgic character rather than quiet, extended text readability.
In text, the dense black color and small counters make the face feel loud and compact, especially in words with many rounded forms. The distinctive spurs and notched joins are the primary personality markers and remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
