A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that create a chiseled silhouette. Strokes stay broadly even, with subtle modulation mostly expressed through swelling into terminals rather than sharp contrast. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall color is dark and compact, producing strong word shapes. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls and a single-storey “g,” while capitals are broad-shouldered and emphatic, with distinctive triangular notches and flares at joins and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where its flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that want a bold, vintage-leaning voice, and works well for book covers and editorial openers where a distinctive serif presence is desired.
The tone is assertive and slightly nostalgic, evoking mid-century poster lettering and bold editorial titling. Its flared terminals and carved details add a touch of drama and craft, making text feel deliberate, punchy, and classic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold serif voice with a hand-carved, flared-terminal character—balancing readability with a distinctive, display-forward personality. Its consistent weight and sculpted endings suggest a focus on impactful titling and logo-level wordmarks rather than invisible body text.
At display sizes the flaring and notched joins read as intentional detailing; in longer settings the strong mass and animated terminals can dominate the line. Numerals match the robust, carved feel, with sturdy curves and firm footing that maintains a consistent, poster-like texture.
