A heavy display serif with broad proportions and a firm, upright stance. Stems and arms are largely even in weight but terminate in crisp, flared serifs that create a chiseled, slightly wedge-like finish. Curves are round yet tightly controlled, with compact inner counters and occasional triangular notches at joins that sharpen the silhouette. The overall rhythm is sturdy and geometric, with strong horizontals, squared-off shoulders, and a dense, high-impact color on the page.
Best suited for large-size applications where its dense strokes and flared terminals can read clearly—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and editorial openers. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or navigation labels when strong emphasis is desired, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The font reads as confident and emphatic, with a nostalgic, print-forward tone. Its flared endings and carved details evoke vintage signage and classic poster typography while still feeling clean and contemporary in execution. The mood is energetic and attention-seeking rather than delicate or restrained.
Likely designed as a high-impact display serif that blends classic flare-serif cues with modern, simplified geometry. The goal appears to be instant legibility and a distinctive, carved finish that performs well in branding and headline typography.
The uppercase forms feel particularly blocky and monumental, while the lowercase retains the same weight and flare, keeping texture consistent in mixed-case settings. Numerals are similarly robust and simplified, designed to hold their shape at large sizes. The tight counters and sharp terminals give it a slightly aggressive edge that stands out in headlines.
