A heavy, display-oriented serif with broad, smooth curves and subtly flared stroke endings that widen toward terminals. Serifs read as compact wedges with softened joins, and many corners are slightly rounded, giving the overall silhouette a robust, sculpted feel. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with a lively mix of round and straight forms; bowls and shoulders feel full and slightly compressed, while verticals stay steady and confident. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, generous dots, and a generally bouncy rhythm; figures are similarly weighty with rounded shapes and sturdy stems.
Best suited to headlines, display copy, and short blocks of text where its strong presence and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for posters, editorial titling, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, tactile serif voice.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing but not sharp—more warm and traditional than austere. Its flared endings and rounded detailing evoke a classic, slightly retro print personality suited to expressive headlines and brand moments that want confidence with approachability.
Likely designed to deliver high-impact readability with a traditional serif flavor, combining sturdy proportions with softened wedges and flared terminals to keep the bold weight feeling friendly rather than harsh.
At text sizes the dense color can feel compact, while at larger sizes the softened wedge serifs and flared terminals become the main character. The numerals and caps carry a consistent, poster-like weight, and the overall texture remains even despite the lively, rounded shaping.
