A very heavy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly vertical, upright construction. The serifs are bracketed and compact, with softened joins that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. Curves show a vertical stress and often finish in rounded or teardrop-like terminals (notably in letters like a, c, f, j, y), while vertical stems stay dominant and steady. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the overall rhythm is firm and poster-ready, with subtle width variation between glyphs that adds a classic, text-serif cadence.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, subheads, posters, and book or magazine covers where its strong contrast and sturdy serifs can read clearly. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a classic, established voice, especially when paired with a lighter companion for body copy.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking editorial and institutional typography. Its bold presence reads confident and formal, with a slightly old-style warmth from the rounded terminals and bracketed serifs. Overall it feels dependable and emphatic rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with extra emphasis—combining classic proportions and vertical stress with a notably dark, attention-grabbing weight. The rounded terminals and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for warmth and legibility within a bold, authoritative silhouette.
At larger sizes the detailing in the brackets and terminal shapes becomes a defining feature, giving headings a carved, engraved-like solidity. In continuous text, the heavy color and tight internal spaces suggest it will feel most comfortable with generous line spacing and careful size selection.
