A heavy, display-oriented serif with noticeably flared terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs. The letterforms are broad and expansive, with sturdy verticals, compact apertures, and crisp, wedge-like details that create a carved, sculptural feel. Several glyphs show small notches and spur-like cuts at joins and terminals, adding bite and texture to the otherwise smooth, rounded bowls. Overall spacing and rhythm read dense and assertive, with strong horizontal presence and clear, emphatic silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form text where impact matters—posters, titles, branding marks, packaging, and large-format signage. It can also work for section headers or pull quotes when a classic-yet-forceful tone is desired, but its dense color and tight counters favor larger sizes over long body copy.
The font conveys a bold, vintage-leaning authority—part editorial headline, part classic signage. Its sharp spurs and flared endings add drama and a slightly theatrical edge, while the consistent weight and stable construction keep it feeling confident and established.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through wide proportions, flared serif energy, and decorative incisions that sharpen the silhouettes. It aims for a classic display voice with a distinctive, chiseled texture that remains consistent across letters and figures.
Round forms like O/Q and the lowercase o-family appear particularly wide and tightly enclosed, which amplifies the heavy, poster-like color. The numerals match the same sculpted logic, with distinctive cuts and wedge accents that help them hold their own in large sizes.
