Serif Flared Peha 14 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Agora' by Berthold, 'Emeritus' by District, 'Ideal Sans' by Hoefler & Co., 'Harmonique' and 'Memo' by Monotype, and 'Malik' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy serif display face with broadly proportioned capitals and compact, chunky lowercase forms. Stems and terminals flare outward into wedge-like, bracketed serifs, creating a sculpted, almost carved rhythm. Curves are full and rounded, counters are relatively small for the weight, and several joins show subtle pinches that read like ink-trap shaping at interior corners. The overall texture is dark and even, with smooth, upright construction and a slightly bouncy, irregular modulation between straight and curved segments that keeps large sizes lively.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong silhouette and dark color are desirable. It can also work well for packaging and signage that needs a friendly retro authority, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the flared details and tight counters remain clear.
The tone is bold and assured with a vintage, poster-like warmth. Its flared serifs and rounded massing suggest classic headline typography—part collegiate and part mid-century advertising—giving copy an approachable, energetic presence rather than a formal, bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctly flared-serif voice, balancing sturdy geometry with softened curves to avoid a harsh feel. It prioritizes memorable word shapes and a classic display tradition over neutral text setting.
Uppercase letterforms feel especially monumental and stable, while the lowercase introduces more personality through asymmetric curves and distinctive terminals. Numerals match the same stout, flared vocabulary, staying highly visible and sign-forward. Spacing appears tuned for display impact, producing a dense, emphatic word shape in the sample text.
