A very heavy serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and noticeable flare where stems transition into terminals. The forms show pronounced thick–thin contrast, with crisp hairlines and weight concentrated in main verticals and stressed curves. Counters tend toward teardrop and oval shapes, apertures are fairly tight, and joins create small notches that read a bit like ink-traps at display sizes. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, while the lowercase maintains a solid, compact rhythm with sturdy bowls and tapered, carved-looking endings.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography where its dense color and high contrast can read as intentional drama. It can also support branding and masthead-style uses that benefit from a classic serif voice with extra punch; for extended small text, generous sizing and spacing would help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a dramatic, print-forward presence. Its flared, chiseled details suggest a heritage editorial voice—serious, confident, and slightly theatrical—rather than casual or utilitarian text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with amplified contrast and sculpted, flared terminals to maximize presence. It prioritizes strong typographic color, distinctive silhouettes, and a carved, print-like finish for high-impact display setting.
The numerals are robust and emblematic, matching the strong serifed texture of the letters. In the sample text, the dense color and tight interior spaces create a poster-like massing, with distinctive punctuation and strong word shapes that emphasize impact over delicacy.
