A heavy, display-oriented serif with compact, blocky letterforms and strongly sculpted terminals. Strokes are robust with subtle modulation and pronounced bracketing into wedge-like serifs, creating a carved, slightly chiseled texture. Counters tend to be tight and the joins show small notches and spur-like details that read as ink-trap-like shaping at larger sizes. Curves are full and rounded (notably in bowls and numerals), while diagonals and arms terminate in crisp, angled tips, producing an energetic, high-contrast silhouette without feeling delicate.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where weight and distinctive serif detailing are assets. It can work well on packaging and editorial covers where a bold, vintage-inflected voice is needed. In longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the sculpted terminals and tight counters can breathe.
The overall tone is assertive and retro-leaning, mixing traditional serif cues with punchy, poster-style weight. Its sharp terminals and sculpted joins add a spirited, slightly sporty edge, while the rounded bowls keep it friendly rather than severe. The result feels attention-grabbing and headline-forward, with a classic-meets-bold personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable serif signature, blending traditional bracketed serifs with more decorative, angular terminal cuts. Its consistent, chunky construction suggests a focus on display readability and brand character rather than quiet, body-text neutrality.
Spacing appears generous for a display serif, helping the dense shapes stay legible. The design shows a consistent system of angular, flared endings across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving lines of text a rhythmic, decorative sparkle. The numerals are particularly stout and rounded, matching the font’s strong, graphic color.
