A heavyweight serif with subtly flared stroke endings and sturdy, sculpted construction. The forms are broad and open, with generous counters (notably in C, O, e, and 8) and a generally even stroke color that reads solid at display sizes. Serifs and terminals are compact and brisk, often appearing as tapered or wedged finishes rather than long brackets, and several joins show small cut-ins that suggest ink-trap-like shaping. Curves are smooth and full, while diagonals (V, W, X, y) stay thick and stable, creating a dense, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale text where weight and presence matter: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging fronts, and bold signage. The open counters and compact serif treatment help it remain legible in short bursts of text, making it effective for punchy subheads and callouts.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, with a vintage, headline-oriented personality. It evokes classic print and sign lettering—energetic and promotional—without becoming decorative or whimsical. The heavy, open shapes keep it approachable while still feeling loud and impactful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, combining strong, contemporary massing with flared terminal behavior for a distinctive, print-forward texture. It prioritizes visibility and confident rhythm over delicate detail, aiming for emphatic display typography.
Capitals have a strong, blocky stance with simplified detailing, while the lowercase maintains clear, sturdy silhouettes that hold up under tight spacing in the sample text. Numerals are similarly robust and rounded, designed to match the font’s dense color and high visibility.
