A heavy, expansive serif with strongly flared terminals and wedge-like, beaked serifs that create a chiseled silhouette. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, but broaden toward ends, giving stems and arms a subtly sculpted, tapered finish. Round letters are wide and somewhat flattened, with compact interior counters, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read as sharply cut and angular. Lowercase forms are robust and sturdy; bowls are generous but tightened by thick joins, and the numerals follow the same broad, emphatic construction with open, horizontally oriented shapes.
Best suited to large-size applications where its flared detailing and wide proportions can carry impact—headlines, posters, bold branding systems, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or titling where a strong, stylized serif is desired, while extended small-size reading may feel dense due to the heavy joins and compact counters.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a vintage-meets-industrial character. The flared endings and broad proportions suggest a display voice that feels athletic, poster-like, and slightly mechanical rather than delicate or bookish.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence through broad letterforms and sculpted terminals, combining sturdy construction with decorative flaring for a distinctive display signature. The consistent stroke behavior and emphatic serifs suggest an intention to balance clarity with personality in branding and headline contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally generous to accommodate the wide forms, keeping text from feeling cramped despite the heavy weight. The strong terminals and dense joins create distinctive word-shapes, especially in mixed-case settings and in round-heavy strings (e, o, 8, 9).
