A heavy, upright serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and compact, bracket-like serif shaping that gives edges a carved, slightly tapered look. Strokes read broadly even, but the flare and terminal shaping introduce a subtle contrast effect, especially on curved letters and diagonals. Counters are generous and largely round, with sturdy joins and a consistent rhythm that keeps the texture solid and dark on the page. The lowercase shows robust, simplified forms (single-storey a and g) and stout proportions that emphasize clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, covers, posters, and brand marks where its dense color and flared details can read clearly. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a strong, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a warm, slightly old-style personality. Its flared endings and rounded interiors evoke a classic, print-forward sensibility—confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif vocabulary, using flared terminals and softened curves to keep the bold weight approachable. It prioritizes strong word shapes and a distinctive silhouette for eye-catching typography.
Round letters (O, C, G, Q) feel especially full and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show distinct tapered terminals that add energy. Numerals are wide and weighty, matching the strong color of the letters and maintaining a consistent, poster-ready presence.
