A heavy serif with flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that give the forms a sculpted, carved feel. Strokes are broadly even with softened corners and rounded joins, producing sturdy silhouettes and generous interior spaces. Proportions are slightly compact with substantial bowls and clear apertures, and the overall rhythm feels steady and deliberate rather than crisp or sharp.
Best used for headlines and display text where its bold presence and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work well for logos, packaging, and book-cover titling that needs a classic yet friendly weighty serif, especially in short phrases and large sizes.
The tone is confident and traditional, leaning toward a warm, old-style sensibility rather than a strict modern or industrial voice. Its weight and rounded shaping make it feel approachable and emphatic, well suited to attention-grabbing statements without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable serif with a distinctive flared finish—combining traditional letterform cues with softened, contemporary sturdiness for high-impact display typography.
The numerals and capitals read with strong presence, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and simplified detailing. The terminals often widen subtly, reinforcing the flared character and giving headlines a distinctive, tactile texture.
