A heavy, compact serif with flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that swell into the stems rather than forming rigid slabs. Curves are generously rounded and slightly bulbous, with tight inner counters and a strong black presence that keeps shapes readable at display sizes. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, while capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their internal space. Terminals often finish with a subtle wedge or teardrop-like flare, and the numerals share the same thick, rounded construction and emphatic weight.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its dense weight and flared details can read clearly and add personality—posters, packaging, branding marks, and editorial display typography. It can also work for emphatic pull quotes, but long-form text may feel heavy due to the tight counters and strong ink density.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured with a warm, slightly nostalgic flavor. Its soft flaring and rounded details keep it approachable, while the dense weight and firm rhythm convey authority and punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a robust, readable silhouette, blending traditional serif cues with flared, softened endings for a more contemporary and approachable display voice.
The texture is intentionally chunky, creating a strong page color in paragraphs and headlines. Round letters like o/e/c keep small apertures, and many joins feel cushioned rather than sharp, contributing to a friendly, poster-like character.
