A heavy, compact serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, flared terminals that read as sculpted rather than sharp. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and the joins and corners are slightly rounded, giving the letters a dense, carved look. Counters are relatively tight and the lowercase shows a tall x-height, keeping the texture dark and uniform in text. Overall spacing and rhythm favor impact over delicacy, with sturdy verticals and confident, simplified curves.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and other short-form display settings where a dense, powerful texture is an advantage. It can work well for branding and packaging that want a classic, sturdy voice, and it fits naturally in sports, heritage, or industrial-leaning identity systems where bold legibility and presence are priorities.
The tone is bold and commanding with a vintage, poster-like presence. Its chunky silhouettes and flared finishing details suggest classic display typography—confident, workmanlike, and slightly nostalgic—while still feeling clean and purposeful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, using flared, bracketed endings and a compact, heavy rhythm to create a strong display face. It prioritizes sturdy silhouettes and uniform weight to stay legible and distinctive in large sizes and high-contrast applications.
The numerals and capitals present a strong headline color and maintain consistent weight across straight and curved forms. In longer lines the dense set and tight counters create a solid, attention-grabbing block of text, making it feel more suited to display sizes than extended reading.
