A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and broad proportions. Stems and joins subtly widen toward terminals, creating a flared, carved-in feel rather than a blunt slab finish. Serifs are short and strongly bracketed, with lively curvature and occasional ball-like terminals; several letters show pointed, beak-ish or wedge-like stroke endings that add bite to counters and apertures. Rounds are full and dark (notably O, C, G), and the overall color is dense with crisp interior counters that keep forms readable at large sizes.
Best suited for display settings where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, magazine nameplates, and book-cover titling. The dense weight and flared detailing also fit packaging and branding that aims for a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a vintage editorial character that reads as traditional but energized. Its flared stroke endings and chunky rhythm suggest classic print and signage aesthetics—confident, slightly theatrical, and meant to command attention.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with expressive, flared terminals to increase impact at large sizes. Its wide stance, dense color, and sculpted finishing details point to a titling-focused serif meant to feel classic, confident, and attention-forward in print-like contexts.
The numerals appear sturdy and display-oriented, with generous curves on 6/8/9 and strong horizontals on 4/5/7. The uppercase set feels particularly monumental due to the wide stance and compact serifs, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, upright texture with distinct, high-impact terminals.
