A very heavy serif with broad proportions and pronounced flaring at stroke endings. The serifs feel bracketed and sculpted rather than square, with tapered joins and subtly rounded transitions that keep the dense weight from feeling rigid. Counters are compact but open enough to hold shape in display sizes, and the overall rhythm is steady and upright with a distinctly chunky, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its heavy color and flared details can be appreciated—posters, cover lines, packaging, and identity work. It can also serve as an attention-grabbing editorial display face for pull quotes or section openers, especially when paired with a lighter companion for body text.
The tone is bold and outgoing, with a vintage headline energy that reads as confident and slightly playful. Its carved, flared terminals suggest a classic print sensibility—sturdy and authoritative—while the soft shaping keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, using flared stroke endings and softened transitions to combine classic structure with bold, contemporary presence. It prioritizes display legibility and personality over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, print-forward silhouette.
The forms show a consistent flare-and-taper logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive, sculptural color on the page. Rounded bowls and substantial horizontal strokes contribute to a strong, dark typographic mass, making spacing and internal counters key to maintaining clarity at smaller sizes.
