A compact serif with heavy, nearly monolinear strokes and pronounced flared endings that widen as they meet terminals and serifs. Counters are relatively tight and apertures run on the closed side, creating dense, dark word shapes. Curves are broadly drawn and slightly squared off in places, while joins and inside corners show subtle notch-like shaping that helps keep forms from clogging at this weight. The overall rhythm is steady and upright, with sturdy verticals and a consistent, no-nonsense texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where its flared terminals and tight counters become a defining feature—headlines, posters, mastheads, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable, but it will feel heavy for extended small-size reading.
The font projects a bold, vintage-leaning confidence with a strong headline voice. Its dense color and flared details suggest classic editorial and display typography—authoritative, attention-grabbing, and slightly old-school without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while retaining serif identity through flared stroke endings. The subtle notches and tightened counters suggest an effort to preserve clarity and interior space in very heavy display settings.
Uppercase forms read particularly monumental, while the lowercase stays compact and punchy, keeping long lines visually heavy. Numerals match the blocky, flared construction, maintaining uniform impact in mixed text and title settings.
