A bold, wide serif with flared stroke endings and a compact, punchy texture. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with verticals carrying more weight and terminals opening into small triangular wedges rather than flat slabs. Counters are generous and mostly round, while joins and corners are subtly softened, giving the shapes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The lowercase is robust and readable with a single-storey a and g, and the figures are heavy, rounded, and display-like.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where its weight and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can work well for branding, packaging, labels, and signage that want a vintage or handcrafted edge. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The font conveys a confident, old-school tone that feels both approachable and authoritative. Its wedge-like terminals and broad proportions evoke vintage signage and editorial headlines, with a hint of collegiate or pub-style character. Overall it reads as energetic and sturdy rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended as a display serif that blends traditional wedge-terminal cues with broad, sturdy proportions for strong impact. It aims to deliver high legibility and memorable personality in prominent settings, echoing classic print and sign-lettering influences without becoming ornate.
The rhythm is driven by strong verticals and wide set letters, producing a dense headline color at larger sizes. The flared terminals create pronounced sparkle at the ends of strokes, helping forms stay distinct even with heavy weight. The sharpness of the wedges adds bite, while the rounded bowls keep it from feeling harsh.
