A heavy, sturdy serif with gently bracketed, flared stroke endings that give stems a subtly sculpted, widening finish. The letterforms are broadly traditional in construction, with compact internal spaces and smooth, rounded transitions where strokes meet. Terminals and serifs feel integrated rather than sharply cut, creating a dense, even texture in text. Curves are full and controlled, and the overall rhythm stays steady despite noticeable width variation across characters.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium editorial settings where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a classic serif feel with added heft and presence.
The tone is bold and assured, combining a classic, bookish foundation with a slightly retro, display-ready presence. Its weight and flared detailing convey authority and warmth, reading as confident and familiar rather than delicate or mannered.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif silhouette with extra weight and softened, flaring terminals, balancing readability with a distinctive, punchy texture for display and editorial use.
In the sample text, the dense color and compact counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the flared endings and bracketed details remain clear. Numerals match the letterforms’ sturdy build and share the same softened, carved-like finishing.
