A very heavy, high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like stroke endings that read as sculpted rather than strictly rectangular. Curves are broad and full, while joins and terminals show sharp, chiseled transitions that create a crisp rhythm in text. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a large x-height, prominent entry strokes, and distinct serifed feet; counters stay open despite the weight. Numerals and capitals are blocky and stable, with subtle optical notches and tapered terminals that keep dense shapes from clogging.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of text, and statement typography where its heavy weight and flared serifs can carry personality. It can work in editorial settings for section openers, pull quotes, and cover lines, and in branding or packaging where a classic, forceful voice is desired.
The overall tone feels bold and traditional with a slightly vintage, display-minded personality. Its flared details and carved terminals suggest authority and confidence, leaning toward editorial and poster aesthetics rather than minimal modernism.
Likely designed to deliver a commanding, old-style display voice with sculpted, flared terminals that maintain clarity at large sizes while creating a distinctive, carved texture in text. The generous x-height and open counters support readability in bold settings without losing the traditional serif character.
The texture in paragraphs is dark and emphatic, with clear word shapes driven by strong verticals and pronounced terminals. The form language stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving it a cohesive, headline-ready presence.
