A very heavy serif with compact proportions and strongly sculpted, flared terminals. The strokes stay broadly even in weight, with subtly swollen stems and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that create a carved, inked-in impression. Curves are full and rounded, counters are moderately tight, and joints often show gentle notches that read like ink-trap behavior at this weight. Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky with pronounced serif presence, while the lowercase maintains a solid, workmanlike rhythm with short, thick arms and a robust baseline stance. Numerals follow the same dense, poster-oriented construction, with clear silhouettes and strong terminal shaping.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where strong typographic color is needed—magazine mastheads, posters, sports/collegiate identity, and heritage-leaning brand marks. It can also work for packaging and signage where the flared serif character helps differentiate it from standard bold serifs.
The overall tone is forceful and traditional, evoking mid-century editorial headlines, campus/athletic typography, and heritage branding. Its flared details add a subtly artisanal, engraved character, balancing authority with a warm, familiar nostalgia.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, display-forward serif that blends traditional serif cues with flared, sculptural terminals for a distinctive headline voice. Its sturdy forms prioritize presence and recognizability, aiming for confident readability and a classic, institutional feel.
At display sizes the flared endings and bracket transitions become a key visual signature, adding texture and bite without relying on high contrast. The heavy color and compact counters suggest it will look most confident with generous tracking and ample line spacing when set in longer phrases.
