A heavy serif with pronounced flaring at the ends of stems and a gently bracketed feel, creating wedge-like terminals rather than flat slabs. The overall color is dense and even, with broad bowls, compact apertures, and rounded interior counters that keep shapes readable at display sizes. Curves are full and slightly squared at stress points, and joins feel sturdy rather than delicate. The lowercase shows a robust, single-storey a and g, short-looking ascenders relative to the weight, and chunky punctuation-like dots on i/j, reinforcing a bold, poster-ready rhythm.
Works best for display typography: headlines, posters, cover treatments, and brand marks where a strong silhouette matters. The sturdy shapes and flared terminals also suit packaging, labels, and sports or collegiate-style graphics, as well as short editorial pull quotes and promotional copy.
The font projects a confident, retro-leaning tone—bold, grounded, and a bit playful without becoming informal. Its flared endings add a classic, sign-painting or collegiate resonance, while the hefty proportions keep it punchy and assertive. Overall it feels friendly but commanding, suited to statements and headlines that need presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif voice, using flared stroke endings to add character and warmth while maintaining a solid, blocky presence. Its forms prioritize bold readability and a distinctive silhouette for branding and large-scale typography.
At text sizes the dense weight and relatively tight internal spaces suggest it will perform best with generous tracking and leading. Numerals share the same stout, rounded construction and look built for emphasis in dates, scores, and short callouts.
