A heavy, compactly built serif with broad proportions and strongly flared, bracketed terminals that read almost as wedge serifs. Strokes are generally even with moderate contrast, and many joins show small, scooped notches that suggest ink-trap-like shaping. Counters are round and generous for the weight, while overall silhouettes stay blocky and stable, giving the forms a stout, poster-friendly presence. The lowercase uses single-storey shapes (notably a and g), with short ascenders/descenders relative to the mass of the letters.
Best suited to short-form display settings where its strong, dark texture and flared details can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, packaging, and logo/branding wordmarks. It can work for large-size editorial pull quotes or cover typography, but is likely to feel heavy in extended small-text use.
The font conveys a bold, throwback character—part classic poster serif, part playful headline face. Its flared endings and scooped details add warmth and a slightly mischievous tone, while the dense weight keeps it assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, retro-leaning serif voice, combining wide, sturdy proportions with sculpted flares and subtle notches to keep large black shapes lively and legible.
Round letters (O, C, G, e, o) feel particularly soft and inflated, contrasted by crisp, pointed flare accents at terminals. The numerals match the same chunky, sculpted rhythm, maintaining a consistent dark texture across lines.
