A robust serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and sculpted, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are strongly modulated, with thick verticals and finer joins and hairlines that stay readable at display sizes. The letterforms have full, rounded bowls and slightly softened corners, giving the texture a dense, even color despite the contrast. Lowercase features single‑storey a and g, round dots on i/j, and occasional ball terminals; overall spacing reads compact and steady, supporting a continuous, emphatic rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short passages where a strong serif voice is needed. It works well in editorial layouts, posters, and packaging or branding that aims for a traditional, established feel, and it can also serve as a bold companion for pull quotes and section titles.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—confident and traditional without feeling overly formal. Its weight and rounded shaping make it feel sturdy and welcoming, suited to headlines that need authority with a touch of warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with extra visual impact, combining sturdy proportions with crisp contrast and expressive terminals for attention-grabbing typographic color.
Serifs are prominent and consistently bracketed, helping connect letters into a cohesive line while keeping counters open. Numerals appear heavy and readable with old-style character in their curves and terminals, reinforcing the vintage, print-oriented impression.
