A heavy, flared serif with rounded corners and a compact, blocky skeleton. The strokes are largely monolinear, with subtle bracketing into sharp, beak-like serifs that create a distinctive chiseled finish on terminals. Counters tend toward squarish/rectangular shapes (notably in O and the numerals), and the overall geometry favors broad, stable forms with slightly condensed internal space. The lowercase is sturdy and upright with simple, robust bowls and pronounced terminal shaping; the rhythm reads more display-oriented than text-focused.
Best suited to display sizes where the flared serifs and squared counters can be appreciated—posters, large headings, branding marks, and label or packaging work. It can also perform well for short editorial titles and pull quotes where a bold, vintage voice is desired.
The tone feels classic and muscular, with an old-style poster and signage sensibility. Its sharp, flared terminals add a faintly gothic or frontier flavor, while the rounded, weighty bodies keep it approachable and emphatic. Overall it communicates confidence, tradition, and a crafted, print-era character.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a heritage feel, combining sturdy, wide letterforms with decorative flared serifs for a distinctive, signage-ready silhouette.
The uppercase has a particularly strong, emblematic presence, with angular joins and squared-off counters that enhance a stamped or engraved impression. Numerals follow the same squared, heavy construction, keeping figures visually consistent for headlines and badges.
