A very heavy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly tapered, flaring stroke endings that read as sculpted rather than slabby. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with tight interior counters and sturdy verticals that create strong black coverage. Curves are compact and slightly squarish in places, while terminals on some lowercase forms show rounded/ball-like finishing. Overall rhythm is assertive and dense, with a traditional, display-oriented texture and consistent, upright proportions across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This face is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and short editorial bursts where impact and character are desired. It can work effectively for branding, packaging, and event or theater-style posters that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif with flared terminals. For longer passages, it will generally perform best at larger sizes with careful tracking to keep counters open.
The tone is bold and authoritative, evoking traditional print typography with a confident, almost poster-like presence. Its dramatic contrast and flared detailing lend a classic, editorial gravitas—more formal and emphatic than friendly or casual. The result feels suited to statements, headlines, and heritage-leaning branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened weight and contrast, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to add refinement while maintaining strong display punch. Its construction prioritizes presence and historical resonance over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, print-forward texture.
In text samples the weight and tight counters make the color quite dark, so it reads best when given generous size and spacing. The numeral set appears robust and old-style in feel, matching the serifed, high-contrast construction of the letters.
