A robust text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are broad and weighty with rounded joins, full bowls, and a steady upright stance. Serifs tend toward wedge-like, slightly flared endings, and several glyphs show soft ball or teardrop terminals (notably on lowercase forms), giving the face a carved, sculptural feel. Counters are moderately tight for the weight, and the overall rhythm reads as dense and solid rather than airy.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and packaging where a dense, commanding serif can carry the design. It also fits book covers and editorial display applications that want a classic, print-centric voice and strong typographic color.
The font conveys an assertive, traditional tone with a slightly old-style, print-forward character. Its heavy presence and emphatic serifs feel formal and authoritative, while the rounded terminals add a touch of warmth and vintage charm.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened weight and contrast for impactful reading at larger sizes. The combination of bracketed serifs and rounded terminals suggests an aim to balance classic authority with approachable, vintage-leaning detail.
Numerals and capitals appear especially sturdy and headline-friendly, with clear silhouettes and confident verticals. In text settings the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a bold, inky texture that favors display sizes or short, emphatic passages over delicate, lightweight typography.
