Serif Flared Otra 1 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Copperplate New' by Caron twice, 'Gremlin' by Hazztype, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, and 'Jasan' by Storm Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy display serif with broad proportions and compact counters, combining squared-off construction with softly rounded shoulders. Stems and terminals flare outward into tapered, wedge-like endings, giving the serifs a sculpted, inked feel rather than a flat slab. Curves are full and smooth, joins are chunky, and several letters show notch-like or ink-trap-style cut-ins that sharpen inner corners and add texture. The rhythm is dense and dark with short apertures and sturdy horizontal strokes, producing strong word shapes at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact and personality matter—posters, packaging, sports or team-style branding, and logo/wordmark work. It can also perform for large-scale editorial display when spaced comfortably to keep counters and apertures from closing up.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a retro, poster-like confidence. Its flared terminals and chunky geometry add a warm, slightly playful character that feels sporty and attention-grabbing rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive flared-serif signature—combining sturdy, wide letterforms with sculpted terminals to create a memorable, high-impact display voice.
The numerals and capitals read particularly assertive, with broad bowls and prominent tapered endings that emphasize motion and impact. In the sample text, the tight internal spaces and heavy weight create a strong color that benefits from generous tracking and larger setting sizes.
