A very heavy display serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends, producing wedge-like serifs and tapered joins. Curves are rounded and full, while many terminals pinch into pointed notches or teardrop-like cuts, creating a lively black-and-white rhythm. The contrast reads strongly in the way thick main strokes meet narrow entry/exit strokes and sharp interior apertures, especially in letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals of W and X. Proportions are slightly irregular in a deliberate, poster-driven way, with generous counters in rounded letters and compact, sculpted details that give the alphabet a carved, chiseled feel.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared serifs and pinched terminals can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging panels, and signage. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or event titles, but its dense weight and animated detailing make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage poster typography and carnival or saloon-style signage without feeling overly ornate. The flared endings and pinched terminals add a playful, slightly eccentric personality that reads as energetic and attention-seeking. Its strong silhouette and dramatic internal cuts give it a punchy, headline-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, vintage-leaning display voice by combining classic serif structure with flared stroke endings and sculpted, decorative terminals. The aim is strong impact and a distinctive silhouette that remains legible while adding character and movement.
In text settings the dense weight and active terminal shapes create a textured line, where small details (notches, pinches, and flares) become a defining visual motif. Numerals share the same sculpted character, with particularly expressive shapes in 2, 3, and 9 that emphasize the font’s decorative, display intent.
