A heavy, sculpted serif with broad, rounded stems that subtly flare into wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs. Curves are full and taut, with compact apertures and a dense, dark texture that holds together strongly across words. The letterforms feel slightly condensed in their inner spaces, with crisp joins and clear, sturdy diagonals; uppercase shapes are blocky and monumental while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm. Numerals are similarly weighty, with simple, high-impact silhouettes designed to read as solid shapes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a dense, authoritative texture is an advantage. It can work for short editorial blocks or pull quotes when ample size and leading are available, and it’s effective on packaging or signage that needs a sturdy, traditional presence.
The overall tone is bold and institutional, projecting confidence and tradition with a punchy, headline-forward voice. It evokes classic print typography—serious, established, and a bit collegiate—while staying clean enough to feel contemporary in heavy settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through mass and sculpted terminals, combining classic serif cues with flared, chiseled endings for a distinctive, display-oriented texture.
The flared stroke endings and wedge terminals create a chiseled, engraved impression without relying on delicate hairlines. In text, the strong vertical emphasis and tight counters produce a compact, emphatic color that suits short lines and prominent copy.
