Serif Flared Gasa 13 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gimbal Grotesque' by AVP, 'Belle Sans' by Park Street Studio, 'Core Sans N SC' by S-Core, and 'Jennie on the Block' by Woodcutter (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, tightly drawn serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and wedge-like, tapered terminals. Stems swell into broad feet and caps, creating a sculpted, incised look with soft corners rather than sharp hairlines. Counters are compact and rounded, and many joins feel slightly pinched, giving letters a carved, woodcut-like solidity. The capitals are broad and dominant, while the lowercase keeps sturdy proportions and a consistent vertical rhythm; numerals match the same chunky, flared construction for strong tonal consistency.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and signage where its flared terminals and bold presence can be appreciated. It works particularly well for themed branding—heritage, craft, or entertainment—where a strong, characterful serif is desired.
The overall tone feels old-world and performative, with a handcrafted character that suggests posters, signage, and printed ephemera. Its dramatic weight and expressive flares add a hint of gothic and fairground flair without becoming spiky or overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a carved, flared serif voice, combining strong black mass with decorative terminal shaping. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a vintage print feel for attention-grabbing titling and branding.
In text, the dense color and compact counters make it read as a display face rather than a body-text workhorse. The flaring and tapered terminals create lively silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes, especially in short phrases and headlines.
