A very heavy serif with strongly bracketed, flared terminals that broaden into the serifs, giving strokes a sculpted, wedge-like finish. Curves are full and round, counters are moderately open for the weight, and joins feel smooth rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is compact and dense, with sturdy verticals, short-to-moderate extenders, and a consistent, deliberate serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to headlines, display typography, and short passages where a dense, authoritative serif voice is desirable. It can work effectively for editorial titles, book covers, packaging, and branding systems that need a traditional but punchy look, especially at larger sizes where the flared terminals and bracketed serifs can be appreciated.
The tone is assertive and classic, combining an old-style warmth with a poster-like authority. Its bold massing and flared endings read as dependable and slightly vintage, with a strong editorial presence that feels formal without becoming delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, classical serif feel with added warmth and impact through flared stroke endings. It prioritizes presence and texture over delicacy, aiming for high visibility and a cohesive, poster-ready typographic color.
Capitals are broad and stable with prominent head and foot serifs, while lowercase forms keep a robust, readable texture in running text at larger sizes. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, maintaining a cohesive, headline-forward color on the page.
