Serif Flared Gaji 2 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., 'EFCO Osbert' by Ilham Herry, and 'Ponta Text' by Outras Fontes (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and compact, bracketed serifs. The strokes swell toward joins and ends, giving stems a subtly flared, carved feeling rather than purely mechanical slabs. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, with rounded bowls that stay sturdy and dark on the page; curves transition sharply into straights, creating crisp silhouettes. Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and steady, while lowercase shows pronounced vertical stress and strong, ball-like dots on i/j; numerals are similarly weighty and built for impact.
Best suited for display work where weight and contrast can carry the page—magazine headlines, section openers, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can work in short bursts of text (deck lines, pull quotes) where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a headline-forward seriousness. Its sharp terminals and swelling stems add a touch of drama that feels suited to editorial voice and heritage cues rather than minimal or purely utilitarian settings.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra punch—retaining familiar book-ish proportions while adding flared, sculptural terminals that read strongly at larger sizes and hold up as solid black shapes.
Spacing appears intentionally compact, producing a dense, poster-like rhythm at text sizes. Distinctive wedge terminals and slightly pinched joins help maintain character separation despite the heavy color, especially in letters with tight apertures like e, a, and s.
