A heavy, display-oriented serif with strongly flared stems that broaden into wedge-like terminals, creating a chiseled silhouette. The letterforms are very broad with generous horizontal spans and compact internal counters, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Stroke modulation is pronounced: thick main strokes are paired with sharper, tapering joins and pointed internal notches that read like subtle ink traps in tight corners. Curves are squared-off and robust (notably in O/C/S), while diagonals and junctions show crisp, angular carving that keeps the rhythm punchy at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and large-format typography where the flared terminals and carved joins can read clearly. It works well for branding and packaging that want a bold, retro display flavor, and it can also fit sports or entertainment identities that benefit from a strong, wide wordmark-like stance.
The overall tone feels retro and cinematic, with a confident, show-title presence. Its sharp flares and carved details evoke a bold, theatrical energy—part western-marquee, part mid-century display—making text feel assertive and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that maximizes presence through breadth, heavy color, and distinctive flared terminals. The angular notches and tightened counters suggest a deliberate effort to add crispness and character to an otherwise massive, block-like construction.
In the sample text, the weight and width combine to create strong word shapes, but the tight counters and interior notches can darken quickly in dense settings. The numerals share the same wide, blocky construction and flared finish, helping headings and short callouts maintain a consistent voice across letters and figures.
