A robust serif with strongly bracketed wedge-like terminals and firm, vertical stems. The forms show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady upright axis, giving letters a sculpted, chiseled feel. Counters are relatively compact and the bowls feel dense, while the lowercase maintains a tall presence with sturdy, straight-sided construction. Overall rhythm is weighty and stable, with crisp joins and clear serif articulation that reads as firmly “print-like.”
Best suited to headlines, display sizes, and editorial typography where strong presence and traditional serif character are desirable. It can work well for book covers, posters, and brand marks that aim for a classic, authoritative voice, and it holds up in short text runs where bold emphasis is needed.
The tone is assertive and traditional, projecting authority and seriousness. Its dense color and emphatic serifs create a classic, institutional feel suited to headline-driven typography that needs to look established and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with maximum visual impact: strong contrast, pronounced serifs, and compact counters that create a dark, confident typographic color. It prioritizes authority and readability at larger sizes over quiet neutrality.
Capitals are broad and blocky with strong top serifs, while rounded letters (O, C, G) keep a substantial interior space despite the heavy stroke. Numerals match the letter weight closely and appear built for impact rather than delicacy, keeping a consistent, poster-ready texture across mixed content.
