A heavy serif with pronounced flaring on stems and bracketed serifs that blend smoothly into the main strokes. Curves are broad and full, with a compact, weighty rhythm and relatively small interior counters that hold up best at display sizes. Stroke endings often taper or swell subtly, giving an ink-trap-like softness at joins and a slightly calligraphic, carved feel without any slant. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls and a confident, anchored baseline presence; numerals match the bold color and have traditional, readable proportions.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and title work where the bold color and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, editorial section openers, and heritage-leaning brand marks that need a confident, traditional voice.
The overall tone feels classic and authoritative, with a vintage print sensibility. Its mass and flared details suggest institutional credibility—evoking old editorial headlines, book titling, and heritage branding rather than minimalist modernism.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with a flared, sculpted character—combining traditional letterform cues with softened, swelling terminals for warmth and presence in display typography.
The texture is intentionally dense, and the flared stroke transitions create lively highlights that keep large text from looking flat. In tighter settings the small counters and strong weight can darken quickly, so generous tracking and leading help maintain clarity.
