A heavy, flared serif with compact proportions and a noticeably elastic rhythm across the alphabet. Strokes are strongly weighted with gently swelling terminals that act like softened, wedge-like serifs, giving joins and endings a sculpted, almost brush-cut feel rather than crisp slabs. Curves are generous and slightly squarish in places, while counters stay fairly open for the weight. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded forms with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a distinctive, slightly irregular modulation at some joints and terminals that adds character without breaking consistency.
Best suited to display contexts where its weight and flared detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or cover copy when generous spacing and size are used to keep the dense color from feeling heavy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a buoyant, slightly quirky energy. Its flared endings and chunky silhouettes suggest a vintage-adjacent, hand-influenced sensibility—confident and attention-getting, but not severe or formal.
The design appears intended to combine bold readability with distinctive personality, using flared terminals to add warmth and movement to a sturdy serif framework. It prioritizes a memorable, characterful texture over minimalist neutrality, aiming for expressive display use while retaining clear letterforms.
Caps read broad and stable with pronounced flare at key stroke endings, while rounded letters (C, G, O, Q) keep a smooth, friendly contour. Numerals match the same stout, animated construction, feeling more display-oriented than strictly utilitarian. In text, the strong weight creates an even, dark color, with the flared terminals providing texture and motion along the line.
