A heavy, flared serif with compact proportions and softly swelling terminals. Strokes stay largely even, with gentle modulation expressed more through widening at the ends than through strong contrast. Serifs are short and bracketed, often forming pointed, ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet, giving the letterforms a carved, woodcut feel. Counters are relatively tight and round, and curves are sturdy and full, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text and display settings.
Best suited to display work where a dense, assertive rhythm is desirable—posters, headlines, labels, and signage. It can also support branding and short blocks of editorial text when you want a classic, print-forward voice with a strong silhouette.
The overall tone feels vintage and craft-driven, with a strong poster and woodtype character. Its blunt weight and flared endings convey confidence and solidity, while the rounded joins keep it approachable rather than severe. The texture suggests heritage branding, editorial headlines, and classic print ephemera.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif voice with flared, sculpted terminals that evoke historical printing and woodtype forms. It prioritizes impact and texture, giving text a compact, emphatic presence while retaining familiar serif structure.
The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with prominent terminals, and the numerals match the same compact, weighty rhythm. Wide, dark shapes and tight internal spaces create strong presence at larger sizes, while smaller settings will read as bold and emphatic rather than airy.
