A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a wide footprint. Serifs are strongly bracketed with beak-like shaping and occasional ball terminals, giving the letterforms a sculpted, ink-trap-adjacent feel at certain joins. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, while shoulders and bowls stay round and generous, producing a steady, vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g with a full, rounded construction, and figures are bold, roomy, and highly legible in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short-form editorial typography where its contrast and wide proportions can show clearly. It also fits book covers, magazine mastheads, and poster work that benefits from a classic serif tone with extra punch.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a theatrical dose of contrast that reads as editorial and headline-forward. Its chunky presence and refined serif detailing suggest a classic, print-rooted voice rather than a minimalist or neutral one.
The font appears intended as a conventional serif adapted for impactful display use: familiar proportions and constructions, but amplified weight and contrast, plus expressive serif and terminal shaping to increase presence and character.
The design emphasizes strong horizontals and verticals with carefully shaped terminals, which creates crisp word silhouettes in large text. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample, and the wide set contributes to an expansive, confident texture.
