A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced flared endings and bracketed terminals that give strokes a softly sculpted, ink-trap-free look. Forms are broad and generously proportioned, with a tall lowercase that keeps counters open despite the weight. Curves are full and rounded, and many terminals finish in slight teardrops or ball-like shapes, lending a buoyant texture to the rhythm. Overall spacing reads sturdy and even, with a consistent, slightly calligraphic swelling at joins and stroke ends rather than sharp, brittle serifs.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short to mid-length passages where its weight and flared detailing can be appreciated. It works well for branding, packaging, and editorial display typography that wants a classic serif voice with a more outgoing, contemporary punch.
The tone is assertive and charismatic, mixing traditional serif cues with a playful, slightly retro warmth. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded terminals feel friendly and attention-getting rather than formal or delicate, making text feel energetic and emphatic.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact serif option that remains readable at larger sizes while adding personality through flared stroke endings and rounded terminals. The combination of broad proportions and tall lowercase suggests an intention to keep dense display text legible while maintaining a distinctive, vintage-leaning texture.
The italic is not shown; all samples read as upright roman forms. The numerals match the letterforms in weight and presence, with rounded shapes and strong top/bottom finishing that keeps them visually cohesive in headline settings.
