A very heavy serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed serifs. The strokes are sturdy and full, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the large weight from feeling brittle. Counters are comparatively compact and the overall color is dark and even, while curves (like in C, G, O, S) read smooth and generous. Lowercase forms are robust with a stout rhythm; the shapes favor clarity over delicacy, and the numerals match the same chunky, stable construction.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, packaging, and branding where a classic serif voice needs maximum punch. It can also work for editorial subheads and pull quotes, especially where a dense, attention-grabbing typographic color is desirable.
The tone is bold and self-assured, with a traditional, print-forward presence. Its chunky serifs and compact counters suggest a familiar, institutional voice—more “headline authority” than quiet body-text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure in an exaggerated, high-impact weight—prioritizing presence, legibility at large sizes, and a familiar editorial/heritage feel rather than refinement or delicacy.
At display sizes the font produces a strong, poster-like texture, with thick horizontals and pronounced terminals that hold up in short lines and big point sizes. The overall silhouette feels slightly condensed in the apertures and counters, which increases perceived weight and impact in setting.
