A very heavy serif design with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at the ends of stems, giving the letters a carved, poster-like solidity. The overall rhythm is compact and dense, with broad, rounded bowls and stout horizontals that keep counters tight and color strong. Serifs are short and integrated with subtle bracketing rather than sharply detached, and many joins and curves show slightly faceted, chiseled transitions that add texture. Uppercase forms are wide and weighty with pronounced vertical emphasis, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable structure and a moderate x-height that supports bold setting without collapsing counters.
Best suited to display typography where weight and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or magazine openers, packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or titling where a classic-but-rugged serif voice is desired.
The tone is forceful and traditional, mixing a bookish serif heritage with a rough-hewn, headline-ready presence. Its flared endings and chunky silhouettes feel authoritative and slightly vintage, suggesting robustness and a handcrafted edge rather than refined delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a serifed, flared-terminal voice—combining traditional letterforms with widened stroke endings to create strong silhouettes and a confident, attention-grabbing texture in large sizes.
In the sample text, the heavy weight produces strong word shapes and a dark typographic color, making it most at home at larger sizes. The flared terminals create distinctive silhouettes in letters like T, V/W, and y, and the numerals match the same stout, compact proportions for consistent impact.
