A heavy display serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and flared stroke endings that create a lively, carved feel. The serifs are short and strongly bracketed, with wedge-like terminals and subtle tapering that adds motion without becoming calligraphic. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, G, O, S), while verticals stay stout, producing a dense, even color on the line. The lowercase is robust and slightly bouncy in silhouette, with single-storey forms (a, g) and thick, rounded punctuation-like dots on i and j; figures are similarly weighty with simplified interior spaces for impact.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, large headlines, and punchy brand marks where its dense color and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work well for packaging and signage that aims for a vintage, handcrafted, or heritage tone, especially when set with generous leading and tracking to prevent dark buildup.
The font projects a bold, old-style showcard energy—confident and slightly nostalgic, with hints of collegiate and Western signage. Its flared terminals and chunky rhythm make it feel friendly but authoritative, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended as an assertive display serif that blends traditional serif structure with flared, wedge-like terminals for a retro sign-painting/showcard impression. Its wide stance and robust lowercase suggest it was drawn to remain readable and characterful at large sizes while delivering a strong, confident voice.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and tight interior spaces create strong texture and high impact at large sizes. The flaring and bracketing introduce a subtle, dynamic rhythm across words, while the wide set and sturdy forms keep lines feeling stable and planted.
