This typeface is a heavy, compact serif with pronounced flared, bracketed stroke endings that read as softened wedges rather than square slabs. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with broad verticals and sturdy curves that create dense black shapes and strong color on the page. Counters are relatively tight, terminals are blunt, and joins are smooth, giving the letters a carved, poster-like solidity. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows a large x-height and short extenders that keep lines visually packed.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and branding where strong presence and compact word shapes are desirable. It can also work well for packaging and label-style design that benefits from a vintage, print-forward voice; extended text may feel dense due to the tight counters and heavy overall color.
The overall tone is bold and insistent, with a retro editorial flavor that evokes traditional printing, headline typography, and classic sports or product branding. Its weight and compact rhythm convey confidence and authority, leaning more punchy than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy, traditional serif voice, using flared, bracketed endings to add character and warmth while maintaining a solid, highly legible silhouette in display settings.
The numerals are similarly compact and heavy, matching the letters in color and presence. The ‘a’ and ‘g’ appear single-storey, reinforcing a straightforward, blocky texture that favors impact over refinement at small sizes.
