A heavy, compact serif with broad proportions and gently modulated curves. The letterforms use short, bracketed wedge-like serifs and frequent flared terminals, giving many strokes a carved, chiseled finish. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and inside corners often show notched, ink-trap-like cut-ins that add texture and improve separation at display sizes. The overall rhythm is steady and blocky, with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and a mix of squared and softened corners that keeps the silhouette lively.
This design is best suited to display typography where its carved details and strong silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and short, punchy editorial titling. It can also work for signage or labels that benefit from a bold, vintage-leaning serif voice.
The tone reads retro and poster-forward, blending a traditional serif backbone with decorative, almost sports-signage energy. Its chunky shapes and sculpted terminals feel confident and slightly playful, suggesting headlines with a classic-but-unconventional attitude rather than quiet text setting.
The font appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with added graphic character—using wedge serifs, flared terminals, and notched joins to create a distinctive, high-impact display texture. The goal seems to be recognizable, brandable letterforms that feel familiar yet stylized.
Uppercase forms appear particularly sturdy and geometric, while lowercase keeps a similarly weighty texture with distinctive terminals and occasional angular notches. Numerals match the same robust construction, maintaining consistent color and presence alongside caps and lowercase.
