A heavy serif with flared stroke endings and compact, bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than slabbed. The forms are broad and blocky with generous counters in rounds like O and Q, while letters such as E, F, and T show strong horizontal arms and a firm baseline presence. Curves are smooth and full, with pronounced joins and subtly tapered transitions into terminals that create a chiseled, old-style rhythm. Lowercase characters keep sturdy, upright bowls and short-to-moderate ascenders, with a single-storey g and a compact, dense texture at text sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, subheads, and large editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, substantial presence, and it holds up well in short text blocks where a dense, confident color is an asset.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that reads as trustworthy and established. Its weight and flared finishing give it a slightly historic, print-forward character—confident, formal, and a bit theatrical without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif impression with flared, sculpted terminals that add character and warmth. It prioritizes impact and stability while retaining enough curvature and bracketed detailing to feel rooted in classical print typography.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for solid, headline-forward setting, producing a dark, even color in paragraphs. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the letterforms’ sturdy proportions and contributing to a cohesive, signage-like impact when set large.
