A heavy, compact display serif with flared stroke endings and blunt, wedge-like terminals that soften into rounded corners. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal modulation, and the serifs read more as sculpted flares than sharp brackets. Counters are generous and open in round letters, while diagonals and joins show subtle pinches that create an ink-trap-like bite at smaller apertures. The overall rhythm is chunky and stable, with slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry that keeps forms from feeling purely mechanical.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where mass and character are an advantage—posters, event graphics, packaging fronts, menu headers, and branding marks. Its dense color and flared terminals help it hold up at medium-to-large sizes, especially in high-contrast layouts.
The font projects a nostalgic, workmanlike tone—confident and approachable rather than formal. Its chunky flares and softened corners evoke old posters, storefront lettering, and Western or circus-adjacent ephemera, lending a warm, slightly rugged personality.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, vintage-leaning voice, combining sturdy, low-modulation strokes with flared serif shaping for a crafted, heritage feel. The letterforms prioritize bold readability and personality over delicate detail, aiming for display use in branding and editorial titling.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and sign-like, while lowercase maintains the same weight and texture for cohesive setting in short text blocks. Numerals are bold and attention-grabbing, matching the uppercase presence and reinforcing a headline-forward character.
