A heavy display serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with wedge-like joins and softened, rounded transitions that give the forms a carved, slightly inked-in look. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while apertures and joins often narrow into tight pinch points, adding drama and rhythm. Proportions feel broad and stable, with compact internal spaces and sturdy verticals that create a dense, headline-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium passages where strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It performs well for posters, editorial display, packaging, and branding that wants a vintage or collegiate edge. For small sizes or dense UI text, the tight pinch points and heavy color may reduce clarity compared with a text-optimized serif.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a retro editorial flavor—part classic newspaper gravity, part collegiate signage. Its energetic flare and deep contrast add a theatrical, attention-grabbing character that reads as confident and slightly nostalgic rather than minimal or neutral.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that blends traditional serif structure with flared, sculptural terminals to create a distinctive, branded voice. It prioritizes presence, rhythm, and a memorable silhouette over neutrality, aiming to deliver a classic-yet-punchy tone in prominent typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward monumental, poster-like shapes, while the lowercase carries distinctive, chunky silhouettes that keep the texture lively in longer lines. Numerals match the weight and contrast closely, maintaining consistent color and a firmly grounded baseline presence.
