A heavy, old-style serif with prominent wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a carved, inked-in look. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often taper to sharp points, creating crisp entry/exit strokes on letters like C, E, and T. Bowls are generous and round, counters stay open despite the weight, and joins show a slightly pinched, ink-trap-like shaping in places (notably around S and a). The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and short, thick terminals; numerals are similarly weighty and rounded with distinctive angled cuts on forms like 2 and 7.
Best suited to headlines, cover typography, and short editorial blocks where its strong serifs and dark color can project authority. It also fits branding for heritage-leaning products and packaging, as well as signage or titles that benefit from a bold, classic voice.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a poster-like gravity that reads as editorial and institutional. Its sharp wedges and braced curves add a slightly historic, engraved flavor while remaining blunt and modern in massing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif presence with expressive wedge terminals and flared endings that maintain clarity in large text. It emphasizes impact and recognizable classic letterforms while adding subtle shaping at joins for character and durability.
Spacing in the sample appears moderately tight for the weight, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The pronounced terminals and bracketing create strong word shapes at display sizes, while the heavy color may require careful tracking and line spacing in longer passages.
