A heavy display serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and wedge-like terminals that create a sculpted, poster-ready silhouette. Strokes are robust and fairly even in weight, with subtle swelling and tapering that gives the letters a carved or brush-cut feel rather than a rigid, mechanical build. Counters are generously open for the weight, while joins and inner corners show slight notch-like detailing that adds snap and texture. The x-height reads tall and the lowercase is sturdy and upright, with compact, authoritative capitals and numerals that match the chunky rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its heavy color and flared terminals can do the work—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can hold together in larger paragraph settings as a display text, but its strongest impact is in titles, callouts, and prominent typographic statements.
The overall tone is bold and charismatic, leaning toward vintage show-card and headline typography. Its flared terminals and slightly quirky cuts add warmth and personality, suggesting a classic-but-playful voice rather than a formal book face.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, vintage-leaning character, using flared stroke endings and subtle interior notches to create a distinctive, memorable texture at display sizes.
Spacing appears tuned for display use, producing a strong, even color in lines of text. The distinctive wedge terminals and occasional notch details become more noticeable at larger sizes, where the font’s decorative shaping reads as intentional texture rather than noise.
