A heavy serif with broad proportions and pronounced flaring at stroke endings, creating wedge-like, bracketed terminals rather than flat slabs. Strokes are thick and steady with moderate contrast, and the overall texture is dark and compact, with relatively tight internal counters at display sizes. Serifs and terminals show a carved, slightly scooped quality, giving joins and corners a subtly chiseled look. Round forms are full and weighty, while diagonals and arms maintain a strong, stable rhythm across capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for display work where strong presence is needed—headlines, subheads, poster typography, and prominent editorial titling. It can also work well in branding and packaging contexts that benefit from a traditional, robust voice and a dark, attention-holding typographic color.
The tone is bold and authoritative, with a traditional, print-forward presence. Its flared terminals and dense color add a crafted, old-school warmth that reads as dependable and emphatic rather than delicate or minimal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while retaining a classic serif vocabulary, using flared, wedge-like terminals to add character and a carved, print-like finish. It prioritizes bold readability and a distinctive silhouette for attention-grabbing text settings.
In the sample text, the dense stroke weight and tightened counters create strong headline impact and a distinct silhouette, especially in combinations with rounded letters and deep curves. The figures match the letterforms’ sturdy, traditional feel, supporting emphatic numeric callouts alongside text.
