A sturdy serif with broad proportions, generous weight, and low stroke modulation. Stems end in pronounced flaring with softly bracketed joins, producing a confident, sculpted silhouette rather than crisp slab-like terminals. Curves are full and rounded, counters are moderately tight, and the overall rhythm is steady and even. Details such as ball terminals (notably on the lowercase a) and a single-storey g add warmth, while capitals stay blocky and solid with clear, traditional serif structure.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks where its heavy color and broad stance can carry impact. It works well for editorial titling, branding systems that want a classic-but-robust voice, and packaging or signage that benefits from strong presence at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone reads authoritative and editorial, combining classic bookish cues with a muscular, display-ready presence. Its flared endings and rounded bowls give it a slightly crafted, old-style warmth, while the heavy color keeps it assertive and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra mass and flare, prioritizing impact and character over delicacy. The flared terminals and rounded bowls suggest an aim for warmth and legibility in display contexts while retaining familiar, classical proportions.
In the sample text, the dense weight creates strong texture and prominent word shapes, with punctuation and numerals appearing sturdy and straightforward. The mix of flared terminals and rounded forms helps maintain softness despite the heavy color, making it feel less rigid than a purely geometric or slab-serif approach.
