A heavy, compact serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems rather than ending abruptly. Curves are full and rounded, with low internal counters and generally short apertures that keep the texture dense. The stroke endings often swell into blunt, slightly tapered shapes, giving letters a carved, brush-tooled feel. Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase keeps a solid, upright rhythm with a single-storey “a” and a deep, descending “g,” contributing to a robust, slightly irregular color in text.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short emphatic copy where its dense weight and flared detailing can be appreciated. It works well for branding and packaging that want a handcrafted, vintage-leaning voice, and for signage where bold, compact forms help maintain visibility.
The overall tone feels warm and nostalgic, evoking hand-made signage and mid-century display typography. Its strong presence reads as friendly and approachable rather than formal, with a confident, playful solidity that suits bold messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold display serif with a hand-tooled, flared finish—combining sturdy construction with softened, approachable detailing for attention-grabbing titles and identity work.
The letterforms favor chunky silhouettes and tight counters, which increases impact at display sizes but can darken quickly in longer passages. Numerals match the heavy, flared construction and read clearly with rounded, weighty shapes.
