A flared serif with sturdy, mostly even stroke weight and subtly swelling terminals that read like softened wedge serifs. The design favors broad curves and gently squared contours, giving rounds (O, C, G, 0) a slightly squarish, engineered feel while keeping corners eased. Counters are open and generous, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, supporting dense, punchy word shapes. Details such as the angled tail on Q, the strong diagonal leg on R, and the clean, wide top bar on T reinforce a structured, graphic rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where the flared terminals and sturdy silhouettes can carry personality. It can also work for short editorial blurbs, pull quotes, and packaging copy when set with comfortable tracking and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured with a retro-industrial flavor—evoking mid-century signage and editorial titling while staying approachable rather than severe. Its softened corners and flared endings add warmth and a crafted feel, making it energetic and readable at a glance.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif cues with a contemporary, slightly industrial geometry—delivering high impact without heavy contrast. Its flared stroke endings and softened corners aim to provide a distinctive, friendly voice for display typography and identity work.
In text, the font maintains a steady color and consistent spacing, with distinctive shapes for potentially confusable characters (notably 1, I, and l) due to the prominent terminals and serif cues. Numerals are chunky and display-oriented, matching the letterforms’ squared rounds and flared finishing strokes.
