A heavy, expanded serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that broaden into small, sculpted serifs. Stems and bowls are built from sturdy blocks with subtly rounded corners, while joins and curves show tapered transitions that create a carved, ink-trap-like bite in places (notably in letters like S, a, s, and g). The counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the overall rhythm is wide and steady, producing strong horizontal presence. Uppercase forms feel firmly braced and geometric, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g and a robust, low-contrast texture.
Best suited to display settings where maximum impact is desired: big headlines, posters, advertising, packaging, event graphics, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial callouts and pull quotes when set with generous tracking and leading.
The font projects a loud, confident tone with a vintage poster sensibility and a touch of sporty showcard energy. Its flared details add warmth and a slightly ornamental finish, balancing the mass of the letterforms with a crafted, punchy personality.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a distinct flared-serif signature—combining a broad, attention-grabbing stance with sculpted terminals that keep the forms feeling designed rather than purely geometric.
In text, the dense black coverage and wide set emphasize headline impact over long-form comfort. Numerals match the same bold, flared grammar and read best when given ample space; the overall impression is consistent and display-forward.
