A very heavy serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like endings that broaden as strokes meet the baseline and cap line. The forms are compact and strongly silhouetted, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the weight from feeling harsh. Counters tend to be small and often slightly teardrop-shaped, creating dense “color” and a sturdy rhythm in text. Curves are generous and full, while straight strokes remain firm and vertical, giving the design a stable, grounded presence.
Best suited to headlines and short text where the flared terminals and compact silhouettes can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging, branding marks, and signage that need strong impact and a warm, vintage-leaning presence. Use with generous tracking and ample line spacing when setting longer lines to avoid an overly dark texture.
The overall tone feels bold and self-assured with a nostalgic, display-forward character. Its softened shaping and swelling terminals add warmth and approachability, balancing the weight with a friendly, slightly retro voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive flared-serif signature, combining robust weight with softened, rounded shaping for an inviting display voice. It prioritizes recognizability and tone over delicacy, making it a strong choice for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
Capitals read as broad, simplified shapes with clear, flared finishing, while lowercase maintains a solid, compact texture and a strong baseline. Numerals match the heavy construction and rounded, swollen detailing, keeping the set cohesive for headlines and short blocks. At larger sizes the distinctive terminal flare becomes a key identifying feature; at smaller sizes the tight counters and high weight will make it feel dense.
