A heavy, compact serif with gently flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that broaden out of the stems rather than ending in blunt slabs. The letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with full, rounded bowls and tight interior counters that create a dense, high-ink texture. Curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth and weighty, while joins and serifs show soft transitions that keep the color even across words. Numerals share the same sturdy, rounded construction, reading clearly at display sizes with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, deck text, posters, and logo/wordmark work where its dense color and flared detailing can read cleanly. It also fits editorial and packaging applications that want a classic, authoritative serif presence with a softer, more organic finish than a hard-edged display serif.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a warm, crafted feel that suggests heritage printing and headline authority rather than minimal modernism. Its weight and flared finishing give it a confident, slightly vintage editorial voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver strong headline impact while retaining a traditional serif voice, using flared terminals and rounded forms to add warmth and a slightly historical, print-driven character. It balances bold presence with controlled, even stroke behavior to stay legible and cohesive in short blocks of text.
The heavy weight and compact counters make it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing, especially in mixed-case text. The design’s flared endings add character without introducing sharp contrast, helping maintain a uniform rhythm across lines.
