A heavy, flared serif with broad, cushiony curves and stems that swell toward the terminals. Serifs are short and softly bracketed, reading more as flared endings than sharp wedges, which keeps counters open despite the dense color. The letterforms lean on rounded shoulders and generous bowls (notably in C, G, O, and S), with compact joins and sturdy horizontals that create a strong, even rhythm in text. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the typeface’s thick, sculpted silhouette.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, and punchy editorial titles where its dense weight and flared terminals can carry visual impact. It can work well for packaging and branding that want a nostalgic, handcrafted gravitas, and for short pull quotes where strong texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels vintage and assertive, with a slightly theatrical warmth rather than strict formality. Its soft flares and rounded shapes add a friendly, almost show-poster character, while the strong massing keeps it authoritative and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a softened, vintage serif voice—combining high-impact strokes with flared endings to create a bold silhouette that stays readable and personable in large-size typography.
In the sample text the face maintains consistent color and spacing at large sizes, where the flared endings and rounded terminals become a defining texture. The lowercase shows a sturdy, chunky construction (single-storey a and g) that reinforces an approachable, display-forward personality.
