A very heavy serif design with clearly flared stroke endings and softly sculpted, wedge-like serifs that broaden out from the stems. The letterforms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls and generous internal counters that stay open despite the weight. Curves transition smoothly into straighter strokes, producing a carved, slightly calligraphic rhythm rather than a purely geometric one. Terminals and joins feel subtly tapered and shaped, giving the face a built-in sense of motion and warmth while keeping a firm, stable baseline.
Best suited to large sizes where its sculpted flares and strong silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, cover lines, title treatments, and impactful branding. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes where a dense, confident typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, balancing traditional bookish cues with a more display-driven presence. It reads as classic and authoritative, with a slightly vintage, poster-like confidence that suits statements and strong headlines.
Likely intended as a display serif that delivers high impact while retaining a traditional, crafted sensibility. The flared terminals and softened wedges appear designed to add refinement and rhythm to a very heavy weight, helping it stay readable and distinguished in prominent settings.
The numerals share the same robust construction, with clear forms and prominent weight that favors impact over delicacy. In text settings the dense color is consistent, and the flared endings prevent the heavy strokes from feeling blunt, adding a crafted, refined finish.
