A heavy, expansive serif with broad proportions and a steady, upright stance. Strokes show moderate modulation, with stems that thicken into subtly flared, bracketed terminals and wedge-like serifs, giving the letterforms a carved, sculptural presence. Counters are generally open and round, and the rhythm is spacious with generous horizontal spread, keeping even large, dark text from feeling cramped. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls and a compact, utilitarian construction, while figures are robust and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and large editorial typography where its wide proportions and substantial serifs can establish hierarchy. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif with strong shelf impact, and can work for short passages when ample leading and measure are provided.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, combining classical cues with a contemporary, high-impact voice. It reads as confident and formal rather than playful, with a slightly dramatic, poster-ready weight that still feels grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with extra width and weight for emphasis, using flared stroke endings to add refinement and character. It aims for clarity and impact in display contexts while maintaining recognizable, classic letterform structures.
In text settings, the strong serifs and flared terminals create a distinctive texture and clear word shapes, especially in capitals. The wide set and heavy color favor shorter lines, headlines, and pull quotes where the broad stance can breathe.
