A very heavy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and an upright, steady stance. Stems swell into subtly flared, bracketed endings, creating a carved, inked look rather than crisp slabby terminals. Counters are compact and the joins are tight, with rounded transitions that read almost like soft ink traps in the heaviest areas. The lowercase shows sturdy proportions with a two-storey “a,” a bulbous, closed “e,” and ball-like terminals on forms such as “a” and “y,” while capitals are broad-shouldered and emphatic with strong top serifs and deeply cut interior spaces.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short display lines where its bold color and sculpted serifs can read clearly. It can work for magazine or newspaper titling, book covers, and identity marks that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing to keep the compact apertures from feeling crowded.
The tone is formal and weighty, with a distinctly editorial gravitas—more newspaper-headline than minimalist branding. Its high-contrast, flared finishing gives it a historical, print-forward personality that feels confident and slightly theatrical, ideal for messages that need authority and presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact within a traditional serif framework, combining high-contrast structure with flared, bracketed terminals to evoke print-era authority. Its letterforms prioritize strong silhouette and dense typographic color for attention-grabbing editorial use.
In text, the dense color and narrow openings create a powerful rhythm that favors larger sizes. The numerals are equally robust and traditional in feel, matching the heavy texture of the letters and maintaining consistent, display-oriented emphasis across mixed-case settings.
