A heavy, strongly modeled serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a compact, sturdy build. Strokes are broad with clearly articulated joins and slightly sculpted transitions that create a carved, inked impression. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with some tighter internal spaces in letters like a, e, and s. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a prominent ball-like ear on g, and sturdy, squared shoulders on n and m; punctuation-like dots (i/j) are round and assertive. Numerals are robust and compact, with a distinctive 4 and a rounded 9 with a pointed tail, reinforcing the font’s bold, poster-ready rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and branding where impact and a classic serif voice are needed. It can also work for packaging and sports-leaning graphics thanks to its sturdy shapes and punchy texture. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels assertive and old-school, combining classic serif authority with a slightly rugged, stamped energy. It reads as confident and emphatic, lending a sense of tradition and weight without becoming delicate or formal.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, dependable serif look with flared terminals that add character and a subtly vintage, printed feel. Its compact proportions and strong forms prioritize immediate readability and visual authority in display typography.
The design relies on strong silhouettes and flared endings rather than hairline refinement, so it maintains presence at display sizes. In dense settings, the heavy weight can darken quickly, especially in round letters and the more closed lowercase forms.
