A bold serif with compact, sturdy proportions and a slightly irregular, hand-cut flavor in the terminals. Serifs are sharply pointed and often forked or spurred, with noticeable flare where strokes meet and small triangular notches that create an ink-trap-like impression. Curves are full and heavy, counters are relatively small, and joins are crisp, giving the letters a dense, high-impact texture. The overall rhythm is steady but not mechanical, with subtle asymmetries and lively terminal treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where its dense color and ornate terminal details can be appreciated. It can also work well for editorial branding, book covers, and packaging that aims for a classic, heritage-forward tone, especially at medium to large sizes where the spurs and notches stay clear.
The font reads as traditional and authoritative, with a hint of old-world drama from its thorny terminals and incised details. It evokes classic book and newspaper typography, but with a slightly gothic or antique edge that adds bite and character in display settings.
Likely designed to provide a strong, traditional serif voice with added personality through forked terminals and spurred details, increasing visual grip and historical flavor without moving into slab-like geometry.
The most distinctive signature is the repeated use of pointed, spurred terminals on ends of stems and arms, which keeps large text blocks from feeling bland and helps headlines maintain texture. Numerals match the heavy color and sharp serif language, making them feel integrated rather than neutral.
