A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring into wedge-like terminals and bracketed joins, giving stems a sculpted, carved feel. The strokes are heavy with moderate contrast, and curves are generously rounded, producing ample counters and strong word shapes. Serifs tend toward short, triangular wedges rather than long hairlines, and several letters show subtly softened corners and ball-like terminals in places. Uppercase forms feel monumental and steady, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with compact apertures and a substantial, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to display and headline typography in editorial layouts, posters, and brand systems where a classic serif voice is desired with extra weight and presence. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where a dense, confident texture is beneficial.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a warm, slightly old-style voice. Its weight and flared terminals make it feel confident and declarative, suited to headlines that need to project stability and gravitas rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif impression with added mass and distinctive flared terminals, balancing classic letterforms with a bold, attention-grabbing finish for contemporary display use.
In the samples, the face holds together as a dark, even typographic color, with clear differentiation in figures and a classic serif silhouette. The wide set and strong terminals create a commanding presence at display sizes, while the rounded curves help maintain approachability despite the heft.
