A heavy, display-oriented serif with flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs rather than slabs. Strokes are broadly even, with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls, and the joins show subtle sculpting that creates a carved, slightly ink-trapped look in a few tight corners. Serifs are short and integrated into the stems, producing a compact, punchy silhouette; counters stay relatively open for the weight. Lowercase forms are robust and rounded, with single-storey a and g, prominent ball terminals (notably on f), and a sturdy, slightly squared-off rhythm in letters like n, m, and u.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where its bold presence and flared detailing can be appreciated. It works well for poster typography, branding marks, and packaging that wants a vintage or craft-inflected voice, and it can add character to editorial titles and pull quotes.
The tone blends old-school authority with warmth: bold enough to feel assertive and poster-like, but softened by rounded shapes and flared terminals. It evokes a vintage print sensibility—classic, slightly theatrical, and confident—without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a distinctive serif voice—combining sturdy, low-contrast structure with flared terminals and rounded, friendly lowercase forms. It aims to feel classic and print-rooted while remaining bold and approachable for contemporary display use.
The numerals are wide and emphatic, with strong, simplified shapes that match the font’s chunky rhythm. The design holds together well in the sample text, where the heavy weight and tight, flared details create a lively texture and strong word shapes at larger sizes.
