A heavy, compact serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and softly bracketed joins. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn: verticals broaden toward terminals, counters stay generous, and curves are smooth with slightly squared-off inner corners in places. The lowercase has a robust, built-up feel with a single-storey a and g, a sturdy m/n rhythm, and rounded i/j dots; figures are broad and weighty with simple, stable forms.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, product packaging, and identity work. It also fits sports or event branding and any application needing a bold, retro-leaning voice that remains clear at larger sizes.
The tone is confident and attention-grabbing, with a vintage, poster-like warmth. Its flared terminals and rounded shaping add approachability while keeping a strong, authoritative presence suitable for bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif silhouette, using flared terminals and sturdy proportions to keep the texture lively and legible in big, bold settings.
Spacing reads deliberately open for the weight, helping large text stay readable and preventing counters from clogging. The Q’s diagonal tail and the broad, circular O/0 create a distinctive, emblematic feel in display settings.
