A compact, heavy serif with wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden at stroke endings, creating a carved, chiseled impression. Strokes read largely even in weight, but the flare at joins and terminals introduces a subtle high-contrast feel and strong silhouette definition. The serifs are short and angular rather than bracketed, with squared-off horizontals and sturdy verticals that keep counters tight and forms dense. The overall rhythm is condensed and blocky, optimized for impact rather than delicate detail.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as headlines, poster titles, mastheads, and bold pull quotes where its dense color and flared terminals can read clearly. It can also work well for packaging and signage that benefits from a vintage or handcrafted edge, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a bold, old-style display tone—confident, slightly rugged, and reminiscent of wood type or traditional poster lettering. Its emphatic wedges and compact proportions give it a headline-forward energy that feels industrial and editorial at once.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a condensed footprint, using flared, wedge-like serifs to add character and a traditional, print-rooted voice. Its sturdy construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture for attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show thickened terminals and sturdy interior apertures, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay strong without thinning dramatically. Lowercase features a single-storey a and g, a tall, robust f, and compact bowls that keep text dark at larger sizes; numerals are similarly weighty with wide curves and blunt terminals.
