A heavy serif with broad proportions and pronounced, bracketed serifs that often flare out from the stems. Strokes are robust and smooth with moderate contrast, and many joins show gentle swelling that creates an ink-trap-like notch in tight interior corners. Curves are full and round, counters are relatively compact for the weight, and diagonals (as in V, W, X, and Y) feel stable rather than sharp. Numerals and capitals carry strong, blocky silhouettes with softly shaped terminals that keep the forms readable at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and short paragraphs where its heavy weight and flared serif detailing can provide personality and authority. It can work well for editorial identities, book and magazine covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that want a classic serif presence with a warmer, more sculpted finish.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a bookish, old-style warmth rather than a crisp modern bite. Its weight and flared details give it a grounded, slightly vintage authority that feels suited to established brands and editorial voice. The texture is dark and emphatic, projecting seriousness with a subtle handmade softness in the shaping.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, readable serif voice that combines traditional proportions with flared, sculpted stroke endings for added character. The consistent, weighty construction aims for strong impact while maintaining a familiar, editorial rhythm in running text and display settings.
The lowercase shows a single-story g and other compact, sturdy forms that contribute to a dense typographic color. The family of serifs is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a unified rhythm in text while still delivering strong headline impact.
