A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, wedge-like serifs. The thick stems and narrow hairlines create a strong black presence, while many curves finish in rounded or ball-like terminals that add a distinctive flair. Letterforms feel compact and slightly condensed in their inner spaces, with relatively tight apertures and a rhythmic alternation of thick and thin strokes. The lowercase shows sturdy, upright construction with a moderate x-height and bold, simplified counters, giving the design a display-forward texture across words and lines.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and short blocks of copy where contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—such as magazine features, book covers, packaging, and branding. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, projecting confidence and a slightly vintage, poster-like character. Its sharp contrast reads as formal and editorial, while the rounded terminals lend a quirky, expressive twist that keeps it from feeling purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with added personality through ball terminals and bold, simplified counters, prioritizing impact and recognizability in display typography.
In text settings the dense color and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the fine hairlines and terminal details can remain clear. Numerals and capitals share the same emphatic weight and contrast, producing a strong headline presence.
