This typeface presents heavy, rounded letterforms with pronounced flared terminals that read like wedge serifs and subtle pinched joins. Curves are generous and full, counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is compact and blocky with a slightly “carved” silhouette. Stroke endings often taper or notch inward, creating small cusp-like points on horizontals and curves, which adds texture without introducing strong contrast. The numerals match the letters’ bold, sculpted construction, with broad bowls and sturdy diagonals that keep the set visually even in dense settings.
It performs best in short to medium display copy where its flared terminals and sculpted curves can be appreciated—such as headlines, titles, logotypes, packaging callouts, and poster typography. The sturdy figures also suit bold numbering in menus, labels, and promotional graphics.
The tone is assertive and nostalgic, evoking vintage sign lettering and mid-century headline typography. Its chiseled flares and softened geometry give it a theatrical, poster-ready energy that feels playful but authoritative.
The design appears intended as a bold display serif with a carved, flared-terminal language, balancing strong mass with lively detailing at joins and endings. The goal seems to be high impact and a distinctive vintage voice while keeping counters open enough for readable headline text.
At text sizes the distinctive notched/flared terminals become a defining pattern, so spacing and line length benefit from a little breathing room. The design’s strong silhouettes and large interior shapes help maintain clarity despite the heavy weight.
