A heavy, high-impact serif with flared stroke endings and softened, sculpted contours. Strokes show a gentle contrast and frequent tapering into broad, wedge-like terminals, giving stems a subtly carved look rather than crisp, mechanical edges. The proportions feel expansive with generous counters and rounded bowls, while the serifs and terminals often curve slightly, producing a smooth, flowing rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same broad, flared logic, with sturdy horizontals and rounded forms that keep the overall color dense but not rigid.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its flared terminals can contribute distinctive texture. It can also work for short editorial callouts or subheads when a warm, attention-grabbing serif is desired.
The overall tone is bold and personable, mixing old-style warmth with a poster-ready presence. Its flared endings and rounded joins create a friendly, slightly nostalgic character that feels confident and approachable rather than formal or severe.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic, flared-serif sensibility into a bold display voice, emphasizing broad proportions, sculpted terminals, and smooth curves for high visual impact and a friendly, vintage-leaning texture.
In running text, the dark typographic color is prominent and the flared terminals become a key texture, especially on letters like T, S, C, and the lowercase with single-storey forms. The design reads cleanly at larger sizes where the sculpted terminals and tapered strokes are most visible.
