A heavy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and compact, sturdy proportions. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with rounded joins and softened corners that create a subtly worn, inked-in impression rather than a crisp modern finish. Curves are full and weighty, counters are relatively tight, and terminals often show small bulbous or wedge-like endings. The overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, reading as a bold text face that also holds its own at headline sizes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and book covers where a dense, classic serif can deliver impact. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or section openers when set with comfortable spacing to keep the heavy color from feeling cramped.
The tone feels classic and slightly old-world, with a tactile, printed character that suggests tradition and authority. Its robust shapes and dark color give it a confident, assertive voice, while the softened detailing adds warmth and a hint of craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra weight and personality, blending high-contrast structure with slightly softened, print-like detailing for a bold, heritage-leaning look.
In text settings the strong vertical stress and tight internal space create a distinctly dark page color; generous tracking or larger sizes help preserve clarity. The figures share the same weight and rounded, bracketed detailing, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-like solidity.
