A weighty serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly sculpted, flaring treatment at many stroke endings. The letterforms are broad and stable, with strong verticals and tightly curved joins that create crisp internal counters. Serifs read as bracketed and energetic rather than purely hairline, giving terminals a chiseled, wedge-like snap on characters such as C, G, S, and Z. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with a moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and compact apertures; numerals are sturdy and evenly colored, matching the assertive texture of the alphabet.
Well-suited to headlines, title treatments, magazine and newspaper-style display typography, and branding that needs a classic, authoritative presence. Its dense weight and sculpted contrast make it particularly effective at larger sizes on covers, posters, and pull quotes where texture and impact matter.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, projecting a traditional but forceful voice. It feels stately and formal, with enough sharpness in the flare and contrast to add drama and emphasis in display settings.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif construction with a more expressive, flared finish, delivering a familiar reading voice with heightened emphasis and presence. It aims for bold, editorial impact while retaining a classic, structured skeleton.
In text, the heavy strokes produce a dense, even color with prominent word shapes and strong punctuation presence. The flared terminals and bracketed serifs add visual motion, while the wide proportions help maintain clarity when set large.
