A heavy serif with sturdy, compact letterforms and distinctly flared stroke endings that broaden as they meet the serifs. Strokes are low-contrast and broadly rounded at curves, giving counters and bowls a dense, muscular presence. The serifs read as bracketed and slightly wedge-like rather than flat slabs, and the overall rhythm feels tight with short extenders and substantial joins. Numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the letters’ weight and blunt, poster-ready construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand marks where a strong serif presence is needed. It can work well on packaging and labels that benefit from a traditional, robust feel, and in sports or event graphics where high-impact typography is desirable. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where the heavy texture can breathe.
The font conveys a bold, no-nonsense tone with a vintage, workmanlike attitude. Its chunky forms and flared terminals suggest strength and tradition, leaning toward classic display lettering rather than delicate editorial refinement.
The design appears intended as an impact-forward serif that blends traditional cues with a modern, forceful build. The flared terminals and dense proportions emphasize presence and sturdiness, aiming for confident display typography with a slightly heritage-leaning flavor.
Round letters like O and Q are wide and weighty, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a strong, carved look due to the flared endings. In text settings the dense weight creates an emphatic, headline-oriented texture that favors impact over lightness.
