A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced flared terminals and bracketed serifs that broaden into the stems. The letterforms are wide and low-contrast, with large internal counters and smooth, rounded joins that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. Capitals have broad shoulders and sturdy crossbars, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy construction with a double-storey g and a soft, slightly swelling baseline rhythm. Numerals are bold and open, with curved forms that echo the font’s rounded, flared finishing.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its wide proportions and flared endings can read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and bold branding—especially in contexts aiming for a classic, athletic, or retro atmosphere.
The overall tone feels assertive and traditional, with a vintage, sign-and-poster sensibility. Its wide stance and swelling terminals give it a friendly toughness—confident and a bit nostalgic rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, using flared stroke endings and wide proportions to create a distinctive, banner-ready texture. It prioritizes presence and legibility at display sizes while maintaining a warm, rounded serif character.
The flare and bracketing create a strong ink-trap-like thickening at key junctions, producing a lively silhouette at large sizes. Counters remain generous for the weight, which helps preserve clarity in short words and big statements.
