A heavy, display-oriented serif with broad proportions and a compact, blocky color on the page. Strokes are mostly sturdy with modest contrast, and terminals frequently flare into bracketed, wedge-like serifs that read as slightly sculpted rather than razor-sharp. Counters are rounded and relatively open for the weight, while joins and some interior corners show small notches and cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like bite. The lowercase has sturdy, squat forms with a two-storey “a,” compact bowls, and a prominent, right-leaning tail on “y,” while the numerals are wide and emphatic with strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its wide stance and heavy serifs can create impact—such as magazine mastheads, posters, packaging fronts, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is confident and attention-grabbing, blending traditional serif cues with a punchy, poster-ready heft. Its flared details and notched joins add a slightly retro, athletic energy, giving it a distinctive editorial presence that feels bold and declarative rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with extra width and weight for strong visual authority, while adding character through flared serifs and notched joins to improve clarity and create a distinctive, branded texture at display sizes.
Spacing appears generous and the wide set emphasizes horizontal rhythm, making words feel expansive and headline-forward. The serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a unified texture in longer lines despite the strong personality in terminals and joins.
