A heavy, compact serif with subtly flared stroke endings and softened, slightly uneven contours that suggest inky, hand-cut construction. Strokes stay broadly low-contrast, with swelling at terminals and inward notches that create an ink-trap-like bite in joins and corners. The letterforms are wide-bodied and sturdy, with generous counters in rounded shapes and a lively, slightly irregular edge that keeps the texture from feeling mechanical.
Best suited for display settings where the bold silhouettes and flared endings can be appreciated: headlines, posters, storefront or event signage, and packaging. It can also work for short bursts of copy—such as pull quotes or chapter openers—when a vintage, handcrafted voice is desired.
The overall tone feels warm and nostalgic, evoking old posters, packaging, and book typography. Its chunky presence and soft flares read friendly and approachable rather than formal, with a touch of rustic charm that suits characterful headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, attention-grabbing serif with a handcrafted, slightly distressed feel, using flared terminals and softened corners to create a distinctive, approachable display texture.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent, weighty silhouette, while numerals are equally bold and display-oriented. The rhythm in text is energetic due to the flared terminals and small notches, creating a textured, tactile color on the page.
