A heavy, high-impact serif with bracketed, triangular serifs and strongly sculpted terminals. Stems are thick and confident, while joins and corners show crisp cuts that create a slightly chiseled silhouette. The design mixes squared, slabby mass with rounded bowls and tight counters, producing a rhythmic, poster-oriented texture. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with single-storey a and g, a pronounced ear on g, and a short-armed r; figures are bold and blocky, with a sharply angled 7 and a wide, rounded 8.
Best suited to large sizes where the sculpted serifs and compact counters can read as intentional texture rather than congestion. It works especially well for punchy headlines, event posters, heritage-leaning branding, and packaging that benefits from a bold, traditional voice.
The overall tone is bold and classic, evoking vintage print, traditional signage, and old-school athletic lettering. Its dense color and punchy serifs feel assertive and energetic, giving headlines a confident, slightly nostalgic presence.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif vocabulary, combining strong, bracketed serifs and flared terminals for a distinctive, display-first personality. Its proportions and dense strokes prioritize presence and recognizability over delicate text setting.
Curved letters like C, G, and S show noticeable flare at terminals, and the Q features a prominent interior tail that reads clearly at display sizes. The punctuation and accents shown match the same carved, emphatic style, reinforcing a cohesive, decorative headline character.
