A heavy, extended serif with flared, tapering stroke endings that read as small triangular spurs rather than bracketed slabs. The overall construction is low-contrast and broadly geometric, with wide, open counters and rounded bowls paired with crisp, chiseled terminals. Serifs are minimal and integrated into the stroke, giving many joins and ends a carved, incised feel. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while lowercase keeps a conventional structure with a moderate x-height and compact ascenders/descenders; dots and small details are sturdy and visually consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where the wide proportions and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, film/game titles, event posters, bold branding, and packaging. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the strong styling is most effective when used in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The letterforms project a confident, throwback tone that feels equal parts poster-ready and genre-inflected. The flared terminals add a slightly dramatic, “carved in stone” energy, suggesting adventure, classic cinema titling, or bold editorial attitude rather than quiet text setting.
The design appears intended to combine robust, wide headline impact with a distinctive flared-serif signature. By keeping contrast restrained and terminals sharply shaped, it aims for high legibility at display sizes while delivering a recognizable, cinematic/retro personality.
Spacing and rhythm favor big shapes and clear silhouettes, with wide rounds (O, C, G) and strong horizontals that create a stable baseline presence. Numerals match the letterweight closely and keep the same flared finishing, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
