A very heavy serif with smoothly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a sculpted, almost engraved feel. The design relies on broad, rounded shapes and generous counters, with minimal apparent contrast and a steady, upright stance. Terminals are tapered and slightly pinched in places, while joins and shoulders stay full, producing a dense, cohesive color in text. Uppercase forms are sturdy and compact, and lowercase shows a traditional structure with a clear, readable rhythm and slightly narrow apertures that reinforce its bold presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong typographic voice is needed. The dense weight and flared detailing also work well for packaging, branding marks, and promotional graphics that benefit from a traditional yet bold serif presence.
The overall tone feels classic and assertive, with a warm vintage character rather than a sharp, modern edge. Its heavy, rounded build reads as confident and attention-grabbing, while the flared detailing adds a refined, editorial touch reminiscent of traditional print typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact serif for display use, combining stout proportions with flared, bracketed endings to evoke a heritage print sensibility while maintaining robust readability.
At display sizes the flared endings and bracket transitions become the defining texture, adding movement to otherwise solid shapes. The numerals share the same weighty, rounded construction, keeping headings and figure-heavy settings visually consistent.
