A heavy, expansive serif with flared stroke endings that read like subtle wedge spurs rather than blunt slabs. The letterforms are wide with generous counters and rounded bowls, while terminals often finish in slightly tapered, triangular facets that add motion to otherwise solid geometry. Curves are smooth and full, joins are sturdy, and the overall texture is even and dark, with small spur-like details on characters such as C, G, S, and the diagonals in V/W/Y adding crispness. Numerals follow the same broad, rounded construction with compact, confident shapes.
Best suited to headlines and large-size typography where the wide proportions and flared details can read clearly—posters, campaign work, brand wordmarks, packaging, and sports or entertainment graphics. It can also work for short editorial decks and pull quotes, though its strong width and weight will dominate long passages.
The tone is assertive and contemporary with a retro undercurrent, balancing friendliness from the rounded forms with authority from the weight and width. The flared endings give it a crafted, headline-oriented personality that feels energetic and promotional without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a broad, rounded silhouette while adding refinement through restrained flared terminals. It aims for a distinctive display voice that stays readable and controlled, combining modern heft with classic serif cues.
Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with open, simple constructions that keep the rhythm smooth in text. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a steady, upright stance and consistent spacing that supports dense set headlines.
