A very heavy, upright serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals and broadly bracketed joins that give the strokes a sculpted, carved look. The letterforms are compact and blocky with generous counters for the weight, and a strong vertical stress that keeps the texture steady in display sizes. Serifs read as short, triangular spurs rather than slabs, and the curves (C, O, S) are full and rounded with firm, flat-ish terminals. Numerals share the same stout construction and wide, stable stance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, mastheads, and brand marks where a bold, traditional voice is needed. It can also work well on packaging or labels that benefit from a sturdy, heritage-leaning typographic feel, especially at larger sizes where the flared terminals and bracketed shapes are most visible.
The overall tone feels bold and traditional, with a confident, old-school presence reminiscent of classic print and collegiate or poster typography. Its heavy serifs and flared endings add a slightly theatrical, vintage gravity without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif structure, using flared, wedge-like terminals to create a distinctive, carved finish. It prioritizes strong silhouette, stable rhythm, and a heritage display character over lightness or delicate detail.
Capitals show a consistent, carved-terminal rhythm, while lowercase forms remain robust and highly legible at large sizes, with a noticeable emphasis on strong stems and decisive terminals. The dense weight produces a dark color in text lines, making it most at home where impact is desired rather than continuous reading.
