A heavy serif with broad, rounded forms and gently flaring stroke endings that read as bracketed wedges rather than crisp hairline serifs. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with softened corners and substantial terminals that give the outlines a carved, poster-like solidity. Counters are generous and mostly open, keeping letters like C, S, and e readable despite the mass, while joins and shoulders remain compact and muscular. Overall spacing feels built for impact, with sturdy silhouettes and a slightly tightened internal rhythm in the lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where high visual authority is needed. It can work for branding and editorial titling, especially in shorter blocks of text where the strong serifs and dense strokes create a memorable typographic presence.
The tone is bold and assertive with a vintage, display-first character. Its flared details and chunky forms evoke classic advertising and editorial titling, projecting a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels both familiar and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and recognizability through heavy strokes, open counters, and expressive flared endings. It balances classic serif cues with a contemporary, simplified construction to stay legible at display sizes while retaining a distinctive texture.
In the sample text, the weight holds together well across mixed case, and the distinctive flared endings add texture without turning into a slab look. Numerals match the alphabet’s heft and rounded geometry, supporting headline and short-callout settings.
