A compact, heavy serif with flared stroke endings and strongly bracketed joins that give the letters a carved, muscular feel. The design keeps apertures and counters relatively tight, while maintaining clear inner space in key forms like O, B, and P. Serifs are short and integrated into the stems rather than slab-like, and terminals often swell into wedgey, inward-curving finishes. Curves are broad and full, with a steady baseline and a consistent, vertically oriented rhythm that reads as sturdy and purposeful.
This font is best suited to headlines and other short, high-impact settings where its dense weight and flared detailing can be appreciated. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and branding marks that want a retro or workmanlike voice, and it can carry large point sizes without needing additional ornament.
The overall tone feels vintage and emphatic, like classic poster and headline typography with a slightly industrial edge. Its dense color and compact proportions convey authority and confidence, making text feel assertive and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif framework, using flared terminals and tight proportions to create a distinctive, sturdy texture. It prioritizes presence and character over airy readability, aiming squarely at display typography.
Round characters such as C and S show pronounced, sculpted terminals that add personality at display sizes. The lowercase maintains the same stout, blocky presence as the capitals, and the numerals follow suit with thick, simplified silhouettes suited to bold typographic statements.
