A heavy, flared serif with broad proportions and a sturdy, low-contrast build. Stems swell into wedge-like, bracketed terminals, creating soft triangular serifs rather than crisp hairlines. Counters are generously open for the weight, with rounded bowls and smooth curves that keep the forms readable at display sizes. The lowercase shows compact shoulders and strong vertical emphasis, while the numerals are robust and geometric, matching the overall mass and stability.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a bold, memorable voice is needed. It works well for editorial titling, book covers, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a classic serif sensibility with extra weight and presence.
The tone is bold and authoritative with a classic, print-forward feel. Its flared terminals add a touch of traditional craftsmanship and warmth, balancing the strong color on the page with a slightly sculpted, monumental presence.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact while retaining the cultural cues of a traditional serif. The flared terminals and broad set aim to create a strong, confident display face that still feels rooted in print and heritage typography.
The rhythm is dense and even, producing a solid typographic texture in paragraphs. Pointed, wedge-like finishing strokes (seen in letters like E, T, and the diagonals of W and X) contribute a subtle engraved or carved impression without becoming sharp or delicate.
