Serif Flared Toju 6 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Copperplate New' by Caron twice; 'Internacional' by Los Andes; and 'Loew', 'Loew Next', and 'Loew Next Arabic' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, sturdy serif with flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than slabbed. Strokes are broadly even with low contrast, producing a compact, weight-forward color and strong horizontal presence. Counters are relatively tight and the curves are slightly squared off in places, giving round letters a subtly mechanical, controlled feel. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” rounded “e,” and a robust “g,” while the numerals are blocky and open with prominent curves and stable verticals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It also works well for branding, packaging, and display settings that need a traditional serif voice with contemporary heft.
The overall tone is confident and grounded, blending classic print sensibilities with a modern, punchy mass. It feels editorial and institutional, with a slightly retro, poster-like authority that favors impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, print-forward serif with strong presence: low-contrast, heavy strokes for solidity, combined with flared, bracketed serifs to preserve a classic serif identity and improve terminal clarity at larger sizes.
In text, the heavy weight and firm serifs create a strong rhythm and a darker texture, especially where apertures narrow (notably in letters like “e” and “s”). The flare at terminals helps keep joins and ends from feeling blunt, adding a subtle sculpted character without relying on high contrast.
