A heavy, display-oriented serif with broad proportions, rounded bowls, and a compact, muscular rhythm. Stems and joins frequently widen into subtly flared endings, producing soft, sculpted terminals rather than sharp slab cuts. Curves are generously swollen (notably in C, G, O, S, and the lowercases), while counters stay open enough to remain clear at large sizes. Several letters show small triangular notches and cut-ins at key joins (e.g., around diagonals and inner corners), adding crispness and preventing dark spots in dense forms.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its heavy color and flared detailing can be appreciated: magazine and book headlines, poster typography, brand marks and wordmarks, packaging, and bold pull quotes. It can also work for short subheads where a warm, commanding serif is desired, though its density is optimized for display rather than long-form text.
The overall tone is bold and assured with a nostalgic, print-forward personality. Its soft flare and chunky curves evoke classic headline typography and vintage signage, but the clean construction keeps it feeling contemporary and controlled rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm serif character, combining wide, rounded letterforms with flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, punchy headline voice. The notched joins and controlled contrast suggest an effort to keep shapes crisp and readable despite the high weight.
The lowercase uses single-storey forms (a, g) with strong, rounded shoulders and short, sturdy extenders. Numerals are similarly weighty and wide, with rounded interiors and emphatic curves, giving figures a strong presence in headlines and posters.
