A heavy serif with sturdy, slightly condensed-feeling bowls and a pronounced, sculpted silhouette. Strokes show subtle widening as they approach terminals, creating flared, wedge-like endings and softly bracketed joins rather than flat slabs. The curves are full and rounded (notably in C, G, O), while horizontals and crossbars are thick and confident, giving a dense color on the page. Lowercase forms read sturdy and traditional with compact apertures and solid, low-friction shapes; numerals match the weight and exhibit similarly flared terminals.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and prominent titling where a dense, confident serif is needed. It can also work for short editorial passages and pull quotes when you want a traditional, authoritative texture, though its heavy color benefits from generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a traditional, print-forward presence. Its weight and flared terminals suggest authority and permanence, leaning toward classic publishing and institutional communication rather than casual or tech-forward styling.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra weight and presence, using flared terminals to add warmth and crafted character while maintaining a disciplined, readable structure for titling and editorial settings.
The bold weight and tight internal spaces create strong impact at display sizes, while the consistent flare-and-bracket logic keeps the texture cohesive in longer text. Angular details on diagonals and terminals add a subtly chiseled feel without becoming ornate.
