A very heavy serif with compact proportions and a steady vertical stance. Strokes maintain an overall even thickness, but stems subtly broaden into flared, bracketed terminals that read as soft serifs rather than blunt slabs. Curves are generously rounded with full counters, and joins are smooth, giving bowls and shoulders a cushioned, sculpted feel. The capitals are wide and stable with strong horizontals, while the lowercase stays robust and legible with short, weighty extenders and a single-storey “g” style impression in the sample.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where a dense, impactful presence is desirable. It works well for branding and packaging that wants a classic-yet-friendly voice, and for editorial display use such as magazine section openers, pull quotes, and cover lines.
The tone is bold and self-assured, with a vintage, print-forward personality. Its rounded forms and softened serifs keep it approachable, while the dense color and firm rhythm project authority and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a refined serif finish, combining rounded, contemporary readability with traditional cues from flared, bracketed terminals. It aims to feel sturdy and attention-grabbing while staying warm and legible in prominent sizes.
Numbers and capitals carry a poster-like solidity, with smooth curves and clear silhouettes that hold up at large sizes. In text, the heavy weight creates strong texture and punch, favoring emphasis and display settings over delicate typographic nuance.
