A sturdy serif with wedge-like, flared terminals and compact, high-impact letterforms. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast and tight internal counters that keep the texture dark and continuous. Serifs are sharply cut and slightly bracketed, often forming triangular feet and beak-like endings on horizontals, giving many glyphs a subtly chiseled finish. The uppercase is broad and stable with strong verticals; the lowercase is compact with a solid, upright rhythm and small apertures in letters like e and a. Numerals and punctuation match the heavy color and display-oriented presence, maintaining consistent weight and crisp joins.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display roles where its dark texture and flared terminals can carry authority. It can also work for short passages in editorial contexts (e.g., magazine intros or book-jacket copy) when a traditional, weighty serif voice is desired, but its dense color suggests careful sizing and spacing for extended reading.
The overall tone is classic and commanding, with a bookish, old-style seriousness amplified by the dark color and carved-looking terminals. It feels formal and editorial rather than playful, projecting reliability and tradition while still reading as contemporary enough for modern layouts.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, traditional serif voice with added personality through flared terminals and sharply cut serifs, balancing classic proportions with a more emphatic, attention-holding presence for editorial and branding uses.
Spacing and shapes create a dense typographic “color,” especially in longer text, where the tight counters and strong serifs produce a pronounced, newspaper-like texture. The distinctive flared endings and beak terminals add character without becoming overly decorative, helping headings stand out while preserving conventional serif familiarity.
