A heavy, display-oriented serif with flared stems and wedge-like terminals that read as carved or cut rather than softly bracketed. Curves are broad and taut, with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e, and a slightly squared, engineered feel in the joins and counters. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms and relatively short extenders, while the overall rhythm stays even and blocky, emphasizing mass and silhouette. Numerals are bold and simple, matching the strong, poster-ready color of the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where its strong presence and flared detailing can be appreciated. It works well for branding, packaging, event graphics, and editorial display applications that want a classic-but-bold voice with a hint of vintage signage.
The tone is assertive and a bit retro, suggesting mid-century signage, headlines, and institutional branding. Its flared endings and compact counters lend a punchy, “printed poster” character—serious but energetic rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a distinctive serif voice: sturdy letterforms, compact counters, and flared terminals that add personality while keeping a consistent, authoritative texture.
Diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) feel sharp and emphatic, and the Q’s tail adds a distinctive, slightly playful accent without breaking the overall solidity. The design favors clear silhouettes and consistent weight, with decorative flare used as the primary articulation instead of contrast.
