A heavy, right-leaning serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that create a carved, inked feel. Strokes show noticeable tapering and swelling, with soft curves on rounds and crisp, wedge-like terminals on many horizontals and diagonals. The lowercase is robust and slightly compact, with a prominent, single-storey "a" and a looped "g"; counters stay open despite the weight, aided by small notches and pinched joins that read like subtle ink traps. Numerals are sturdy and rounded, matching the overall dense, poster-friendly texture.
Works best for display settings such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and bold editorial callouts where the sculpted serifs and tapered details can be appreciated. It can also support distinctive branding and packaging, especially where a vintage-leaning, high-impact voice is desired.
The tone is bold and energetic, blending a classic print/woodtype sensibility with a punchy, attention-grabbing slant. It feels confident and slightly nostalgic, suited to messaging that wants impact without becoming cold or purely geometric.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif foundation, using flared terminals, tapered joins, and a pronounced slant to add motion and character. Its details aim to preserve legibility at large sizes while creating a textured, crafted impression.
The rhythm is dynamic, with angled stress and lively diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) that emphasize forward motion. Uppercase forms are broad and authoritative, while the lowercase maintains strong personality through tapered joins and distinctive terminals that keep long lines visually animated.
