A heavy, tightly built serif with strongly bracketed, flared terminals that give stems a carved, swelling finish. Curves are round and full, while joins and corners show subtle notches and angled cuts that add snap and prevent counters from clogging at bold sizes. Proportions feel broad and steady, with relatively compact internal spaces and a consistent, punchy rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The overall drawing is smooth rather than granular, with controlled contrast and a sturdy, sign-like silhouette.
Best used for headlines and short bursts of copy where strong presence is an asset—posters, mastheads, labels, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can work for brief editorial subheads, but longer passages will benefit from generous size, leading, or tracking to offset the dense texture.
The tone is bold and traditional, projecting authority and familiarity with a hint of old-school athletic and institutional character. It feels confident and emphatic, suited to messages that need to land quickly and unmistakably. The sculpted terminals add a crafted, vintage flavor without drifting into ornamental display.
The design appears aimed at delivering a powerful, classic serif voice with modern sturdiness—pairing rounded forms and compact counters with flared, bracketed finishing to keep the shapes crisp and distinctive at large, attention-grabbing sizes.
At text sizes the dense counters and pronounced terminals create a dark, continuous color, while at larger sizes the small cut-ins at joins become a defining detail. The numerals share the same weighty, rounded construction and read best when given breathing room in layout.
