A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and a largely even stroke texture. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with rounded bowls and softened interior corners that keep the black shapes smooth and cohesive. Serifs are short and wedge-like rather than bracketed, creating a carved, poster-like silhouette. Counters tend to be compact in the lowercase, while capitals maintain bold, open shapes with strong horizontal emphasis; overall spacing reads comfortable and stable at large sizes.
This font is best suited to headlines and short text where its heavy, flared serif shapes can be appreciated—posters, branding systems, packaging, and signage. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes when paired with a quieter text face, as the dense silhouettes and compact counters favor larger sizes.
The tone feels retro and approachable, combining chunky confidence with a friendly softness. Its flared terminals and rounded construction evoke classic signage and mid-century display typography, giving it a warm, slightly playful voice rather than a formal one.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, readable display serif with a distinctive flared-terminal signature, balancing strong presence with softened curves for approachability. It aims to feel classic and crafted, suggesting a vintage-inspired voice while remaining clean and contemporary in its overall construction.
The sample text shows a strong, even color across lines, with punctuation and numerals matching the same robust, sculpted feel. Curved letters like C, G, O, S, and e keep a smooth, inflated contour, while diagonals in V/W/X/Y remain bold and steady without looking sharp or brittle.
