A heavy, compact serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Serifs are short and integrated, with noticeable bracketing and a gently sculpted feel rather than sharp slab geometry. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and curves are broad and smooth, giving letters a dense, poster-friendly texture. The rhythm is slightly variable across letters, with a subtly hand-cut, display-oriented finish that shows in the angled terminals and swelling joins.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its dense color and flared terminals can deliver impact—such as posters, mastheads, packaging, and storefront or event signage. It can work for subheads and callouts in editorial layouts, but the heavy weight and tight counters suggest using it at larger sizes for comfortable reading.
The overall tone feels bold and traditional with a hint of mid-century signage and editorial gravitas. Its flared endings and chunky silhouettes add a confident, slightly theatrical presence that reads as classic and attention-seeking rather than minimalist or technical.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with flared, sculpted terminals to achieve a strong display voice. It emphasizes solidity and presence, aiming for a classic, attention-grabbing look that holds up well in bold, high-contrast compositions.
In text samples the heavy weight creates strong word shapes and pronounced dark color, especially in mixed-case lines. The numerals match the letters in mass and flare, supporting impactful settings where the typography needs to carry the layout.
