A weighty serif with pronounced contrast and a broad stance, built from sturdy verticals and smoothly tapered curves. The serifs are bracketed and often flare from the stems, with several strokes ending in rounded, ball-like terminals that give counters and joins a soft, sculpted feel. Bowls are generous and somewhat squarish in rhythm, while curves show subtle swelling and narrowing that reads like inked forms. Figures are large and emphatic, matching the capitals’ presence and maintaining a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its strong contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers, magazine mastheads, and packaging fronts that benefit from a classic-but-expressive serif voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, mixing classical serif authority with a slightly playful, old-style warmth. Its dramatic stroke contrast and flared finishing details suggest a vintage, print-inspired character that feels premium and attention-getting rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, print-oriented serif look with flared finishing and high-contrast modeling, balancing traditional proportions with more expressive terminals for maximum impact in display typography.
Spacing appears open enough to keep heavy shapes from clogging, but the strong dark color creates a dense page presence in paragraph-like settings. Distinctive terminals and flare points add a lively rhythm across words, particularly in round letters and diagonal forms.
