This typeface uses heavy, sculpted forms with subtly swelling stems and crisp flared terminals that read like wedge serifs rather than slabs. Curves are generously rounded and bowls are wide and full, while joins stay clean and compact, giving the letters a carved, poster-like solidity. Capitals have a strong, even presence with prominent crossbars and carefully controlled counters; lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable rhythm with single-storey a and g and short, firm ascenders and descenders. Figures are bold and open, with round forms (0, 8, 9) reading especially full and stable.
Best suited for headlines, short passages, and prominent labels where its bold presence and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for branding and packaging that wants a retro-leaning, crafted feel, and for signage or editorial display where strong letterforms and clear silhouettes matter.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, pairing a vintage, signage-like authority with a warm, approachable softness in the curves. It feels designed to command attention without becoming sharp or severe, making it well suited to energetic, headline-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sculpted, flared-serif voice—combining sturdy proportions and generous curves to stay legible while still feeling expressive and decorative at larger sizes.
In text settings the weight stays visually consistent, but the flaring at stroke ends and the strong internal shapes create a lively texture that benefits from generous sizing and breathing room. The diamond-shaped dots on i/j add a distinctive, decorative detail that reinforces its display character.
