A heavy, tightly drawn serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden into blunt, wedge-like terminals. Curves are generously rounded and the joins are smooth, producing a compact, dark texture with minimal stroke modulation. The uppercase forms are wide and blocky with a stable stance, while the lowercase shows sturdy bowls and short, thick extenders; counters remain open enough to read at display sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the letterforms’ dense, even rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where the heavy color and flared finishing can read as intentional and expressive. It works well for posters, packaging, editorial display, and branding elements that need a classic-but-stout serif presence.
The overall tone is bold and assured, mixing traditional serif cues with a slightly poster-like, mid-century solidity. It feels emphatic and grounded rather than delicate, lending a confident, no-nonsense voice with a subtle retro warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif impression with extra mass and terminal flare for display impact. Its consistent weight and softened shaping suggest an aim for strong legibility at larger sizes and a distinctive, confident silhouette in branding and titling.
The design’s defining character comes from the way stems and arms swell into terminals, creating a carved, sign-like finish. In text, this produces strong word shapes and a high ink footprint that favors impact over subtlety, especially in tight settings or small sizes.
