A sturdy sans with subtly flared terminals and small chamfer-like notches that create a chiseled, cut-in feel. Strokes stay largely monolinear, while curves (C, O, S) are broad and smooth, contrasted by crisp joins and wedge-shaped endings on diagonals (V, W, Y). Proportions run on the roomy side with generous counters and open apertures, and the lowercase shows a simple, workmanlike construction with a clear two-storey-style rhythm in bowls and stems. Numerals are rounded and heavy-set, with the 0 and 8 especially full and the 1 showing a distinctive top treatment.
Works well for headlines, posters, and signage where the flared terminals can provide character at larger sizes. It also suits branding and packaging that aims for a crafted, heritage-leaning feel, and can support short text blocks when a sturdy, personable sans is desired.
The overall tone feels robust and handcrafted, with a mild vintage or vernacular flavor. The terminal shaping adds personality without becoming decorative, giving the type a confident, slightly rugged presence that reads as friendly and utilitarian rather than sleek or technical.
The design appears intended to be a practical sans with a distinctive terminal signature—adding a carved, hand-tooled character while preserving straightforward letterforms and solid readability. It balances familiar proportions with repeated angular details to create a recognizable voice for display-led typography.
The distinctive notch/flare motif appears consistently across straight stems and key junctions, helping the design hold together at display sizes. The face maintains clear silhouettes and strong internal space, while the sharper terminal cuts add texture and visual rhythm in longer lines of text.
