massy

Dense and bulky

Massy is a literary or archaic word meaning massive, weighty, or solid: massy columns of stone, a massy gold chain.

The word appears in older texts and poetry where its compact sound fits the meter better than massive.

It suggests physical bulk and heft rather than mere size.
