A very heavy serif with prominent bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give terminals a slightly expanding, carved feel. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with rounded bowls and smooth, controlled curves; counters stay open despite the dense weight. Contrast is noticeable in the way verticals read stronger than the connecting strokes, while joins remain compact and clean. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, confident construction, producing a dark, even typographic color at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and statement typography where dense weight and strong serifs can do the work of emphasis. It will also perform well in branding and packaging that want a heritage-forward, crafted voice, and in editorial layouts for section titles, pull quotes, and short decks.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an old-style warmth that still feels punchy and contemporary in its weight. It reads as emphatic and authoritative, suggesting heritage, craft, and editorial gravitas rather than minimalism or neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif cues with a more sculpted, flared finish, delivering a robust display face that feels both familiar and distinctive. Its broad proportions and steady color suggest it was drawn to hold attention and remain readable in prominent, high-impact settings.
The rhythm is wide and steady, with strong horizontals and pronounced serifs creating clear word shapes in short phrases. Rounded forms and softened transitions keep the heaviness from feeling harsh, helping the font maintain legibility in bold headlines and compact blocks of text.
