A heavy, display-oriented serif with compact, rounded counters and a strong, even typographic color. Stems broaden into subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that read as softened serifs rather than crisp brackets, giving many letters a carved, stamp-like finish. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and e), while joins and interior corners often pinch slightly, creating a mild ink-trap effect at small apertures. Proportions are broad and steady, with firm vertical stress and short, assertive arms and crossbars that keep silhouettes tight and punchy.
Best suited for headlines, logotypes, and short copy where its heavy color and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for packaging, labels, signage, and editorial feature titling that benefits from a vintage-leaning, sturdy voice.
The overall tone feels retro and robust—confident and approachable rather than delicate. The flared endings and rounded geometry suggest a traditional, slightly Western or early editorial flavor, with a warm, hand-finished impression despite the clean construction.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact with a classic serif identity, combining bold, rounded shapes with flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, printable look that stays legible and characterful at display sizes.
Uppercase forms are blocky and emphatic, with distinctive wedge feet on letters like A, L, and Z and a bold, circular O. Lowercase maintains the same weight and softness, with a single-storey a and g that reinforce the display character. Numerals are thick and rounded, designed to hold presence alongside the caps.
