A heavy serif with broad proportions and pronounced flaring at stroke terminals, giving stems a sculpted, swelling finish. Serifs are bracketed and rounded rather than sharp, and the overall drawing favors full bowls, generous counters, and compact join details that keep the texture dense. Curves are smooth and slightly bulbous, while diagonals and arms hold their weight firmly, producing a stable, poster-ready color. Numerals and capitals read especially strong, with sturdy verticals and clear, traditional letter silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, posters, and branding where strong presence is required. It can also work for packaging and editorial display typography, especially when you want a classic serif voice with a more sculptural, flared finish.
The tone is bold and assured with a vintage, print-forward flavor. Its flared endings and rounded bracketing add warmth and a slightly nostalgic, display-oriented personality, while the substantial weight conveys authority and headline punch.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structures with flared, weighty terminals to maximize impact and character. It aims for high visibility and a memorable texture in display settings while maintaining familiar, readable letterforms.
In text settings the heavy strokes create a dark, continuous rhythm, making spacing and line breaks feel prominent and graphic. The flaring and bracketing provide a distinctive terminal signature that stands out at large sizes and in short phrases.
