A heavy, flared-serif display face with broad, sculpted strokes and softened, wedge-like terminals that swell into the ends rather than stopping bluntly. The letterforms lean on round, generous bowls and a slightly squarish, poster-like construction, with tight interior counters and a strong dark rhythm across words. Curves connect with smooth, rounded joins, while serifs appear as small outward flares that give the shapes a carved, ink-trap-adjacent feel without sharp contrast. Numerals match the weight and volume, reading sturdy and compact with clear, simple silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where its dense weight and flared detailing can read clearly. It works well for editorial display, theatrical or heritage-leaning branding, and packaging that benefits from a bold, traditional voice.
The tone feels vintage and theatrical, combining old-style warmth with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. Its flared endings and chunky proportions suggest heritage and print tradition, while the overall softness keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward personality with emphatic weight and softened, flared finishing, creating a distinctive display serif that feels both traditional and high-impact.
In the sample text, the dense color and compact counters create strong headline impact, but long passages can look heavy and tightly packed. The distinctive flared terminals show up clearly at larger sizes, where the design’s sculpted finishing becomes part of the voice.
