A heavy, display-oriented serif with flared stroke endings that broaden subtly into short, bracketed terminals. The letterforms are wide and blocky with generous internal counters and a steady, even rhythm across words. Curves are rounded and full, while straight strokes keep crisp edges; serifs read as compact wedges rather than long slabs. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with a single-storey a and g and rounded, weighty bowls. Numerals match the bold, open construction and hold up well at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where the bold silhouettes can carry. It works well for posters, branding marks, packaging, and large-format signage, especially when a retro-leaning, friendly display serif is desired.
The overall tone feels assertive and upbeat, with a vintage advertising flavor and a warm, approachable solidity. Its chunky forms and softened flare details give it a friendly confidence rather than a sharp, formal mood.
The font appears designed to deliver strong readability and personality at display sizes, combining wide proportions with compact flared serifs to create a distinctive, vintage-tinged voice that remains sturdy and contemporary in use.
The design relies on mass and silhouette for impact: round letters (O, C, G, e) stay very full, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain broad and stable. The flared terminals add a subtle calligraphic hint without pushing the face into delicate or ornate territory.
