Though a stencil face, Braggadocio bears comparison with the heavier weighted Didone "fat face" fonts. A product of the Art Deco era, Braggadocio shares similarities with Architype Albers and Futura Black, the typeface used in the wordmark of Au Bon Pain, a U.S. restaurant-bakery chain.
The lowercase characters a, f, c, s and y have terminals similar to the Fat Face model. The face is atypical in that none of the characters has a circular hole.
