A heavy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than crisp. The letterforms are built on robust, compact proportions with broad curves, tight interior counters, and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm created by swelling joins and tapered endings. Uppercase shapes are stout and blocky while retaining rounded shoulders (notably in C, G, O, S), and the lowercase shows a sturdy, readable structure with a double-storey a and a relatively compact, ball-like dot on i/j. Numerals are thick and display-oriented, with strong vertical emphasis and rounded bowls.
Best suited to headlines and short-form typography where its dense weight and flared details can carry the layout—posters, branding marks, packaging, and book or album covers. It can also work for emphatic editorial display (pull quotes, section openers), but its strong texture suggests using it sparingly for longer passages.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a vintage, poster-like presence that feels both traditional and energetic. The flared endings add a handcrafted, slightly theatrical flavor, making the face feel confident and characterful rather than clinical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, classic serif voice with added personality through flared terminals—bridging traditional serif authority with a more sculpted, display-oriented finish.
At larger sizes the flaring and swelling details become a key part of the personality, while the dense color and tighter counters suggest careful spacing and size selection for best clarity. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent upright construction across glyphs.
