A heavy, display-oriented serif with strongly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that widen into soft, triangular terminals. The letterforms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls, tight counters, and a slightly bouncy rhythm created by irregular, hand-cut-like curves and asymmetries. Curves are full and bulbous (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and corners are subtly softened, keeping the overall color dense and even. Capitals feel blocky and authoritative; lowercase maintains a solid, upright structure with a clearly readable, straightforward skeleton.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, characterful serif is needed at medium to large sizes. It can work well on packaging and editorial display settings where a vintage-leaning, punchy texture helps establish a distinct voice.
The font conveys a bold, old-style poster energy—friendly and slightly whimsical rather than formal. Its chunky shapes and flared finishing give it a nostalgic, craft-driven tone that feels confident and attention-grabbing without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, rounded forms and expressive flared terminals, evoking traditional signage and print ephemera while remaining upright and highly legible. The consistent, sturdy construction suggests a focus on distinctive display typography rather than quiet, long-form reading.
In text samples, the dense letterfit and compact apertures create strong headline impact, while fine interior details (like the small beaks and flares) add character at larger sizes. Numerals match the heavy, rounded construction and maintain the same robust, display-forward presence.
