A compact, heavy serif with flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. Strokes are mostly even in weight with gentle modulation, and the joins often show soft bracketing that keeps the texture dense but not brittle. Counters are relatively small and the apertures tend to be tightened, producing a solid, poster-ready color. The lowercase has a straightforward, workmanlike construction with rounded bowls and sturdy verticals, while the figures appear robust and blocky, suited to strong setting sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where a strong, traditional voice is desired. It can work well for branding systems, packaging fronts, and editorial display typography where dense letterforms and flared serifs help hold attention at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels traditional and emphatic, with a slightly vintage, print-forward character. Its dense rhythm and flared endings give it an editorial gravitas with a hint of old-style signage and collegiate display typography.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra impact, using flared stroke endings and compact proportions to stay bold and legible in display contexts while maintaining a familiar book-and-print heritage feel.
The serif treatment is consistently tapered and slightly cupped at ends, creating a distinctive edge without the rigid geometry of slabs. Round letters (C, O, Q) read as sturdy and compressed, and diagonals (V, W, X) maintain thick, confident strokes that reinforce the font’s punchy presence.
