A heavy, wide serif design with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and crisp, sculpted terminals. Strokes are broad with moderate contrast and a pronounced, carved look at joins and corners, creating sharp triangular notches in places (notably on diagonals and some curves). Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, while the generous width and large caps produce a strong, steady rhythm in display sizes. Numerals match the weight and stance, with bold, rounded forms and sturdy serifed details that keep alignment consistent across a line.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, posters, and branding where a strong, traditional serif voice is needed. It can also work for packaging and title treatments that benefit from a bold, heritage feel, especially when set with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The font conveys an assertive, traditional tone with a distinctly vintage, print-oriented presence. Its wide stance and emphatic serifs feel confident and formal, leaning toward classic editorial and collegiate associations rather than delicate book typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through width, weight, and emphatic serif structure, while maintaining familiar serif letterforms for readability. Its carved corners and wedge terminals suggest a goal of adding classic, print-era character and authority to display typography.
In running text, the heavy weight and compact interior spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the sharp serif shapes and carved detailing read as intentional character rather than texture. The mix of rounded bowls and angular, chiseled accents gives it a slightly ornamental edge while staying within a conventional serif framework.
