A heavy, compact serif with flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the forms a sculpted, slightly wedge-like finish. Strokes are broadly even in weight, with rounded terminals and generous interior curves that keep counters open despite the density. Uppercase letters feel blocky and stable, while the lowercase shows a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm with a single-storey g, a strong shoulder on n/m, and pronounced, curving joins. Numerals are bold and wide-set with simple, emphatic shapes designed to hold up at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, poster typography, and brand marks that need a bold, classic voice without looking rigid. It also works effectively for packaging and editorial display settings where strong word shapes and a textured serif presence help anchor the page.
The overall tone is assertive and warm, combining old-school print character with a contemporary, punchy weight. Its flared details and rounded joins lend a friendly, approachable texture, while the mass and tight shapes project confidence and authority.
Likely drawn to deliver a highly legible, high-impact display serif that nods to traditional print and sign lettering while staying modern and clean. The flared endings and rounded, low-contrast construction appear intended to add personality and warmth without sacrificing weight and clarity.
The design reads best when given room to breathe: the heavy color and deep curves create a strong typographic silhouette, and the flaring at stroke ends adds a distinctive rhythm in headings. In longer lines, the weight produces a solid “ink” presence that feels intentional and attention-grabbing.
