A heavy, display-oriented serif with broad, compact letterforms and strongly bracketed serifs that read as rounded, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are predominantly monoline with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively tight, creating dense, high-ink silhouettes. Curves are smooth and slightly bulbous, while corners are softened rather than sharp, giving the design a chunky, carved feel. The overall rhythm is sturdy and emphatic, with a consistent vertical stance and clear, blocky construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Works best at large sizes for headlines, posters, signage, and bold editorial callouts where its dense color and chunky serifs can carry. It can also suit packaging and branding that wants a retro or athletic-flavored presence, especially in short phrases and title treatments.
The tone is bold and confident, evoking vintage headline typography with a slightly sporty, poster-ready attitude. Its weight and compactness create a sense of impact and immediacy, suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than subtle text setting.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif base, combining compact proportions and rounded bracketed serifs to create a distinctive, vintage-leaning display voice.
The numerals and uppercase forms appear especially stout and prominent, matching the font’s dense color on the page. The serif treatment stays prominent at ends and corners, helping retain a traditional serif identity while leaning into a decorative, display feel.
