A very heavy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that help soften the mass of the strokes. The design keeps contrast low, relying on strong verticals and broad, rounded bowls to build its presence. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed-feeling in text, with compact inner counters and tight apertures that create a dense, high-impact color. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and terminals show crisp, angled shaping that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and other display contexts where a forceful serif is desirable. It can work well for editorial titling and packaging that benefits from a classic-yet-muscular tone, and for branding systems that need a sturdy, assertive typographic anchor.
The overall tone is bold and traditional, projecting confidence and solidity rather than delicacy. Its sculpted, flared endings add a subtly crafted, old-style flavor, giving it an authoritative voice suited to emphatic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif framework, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to add crafted character while keeping strokes broad and readable at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the weight and compact counters create strong texture and headline punch, but the dense rhythm can feel dark in longer settings. Numerals appear similarly robust, maintaining the same heavy, flared finish for consistency across mixed typography.
