A heavy serif with pronounced flare at stroke endings and compact, bracketed serifs that read as triangular wedges rather than slabs. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, but the joints and terminals show swelling and soft rounding that keeps the color dense without feeling brittle. Proportions are steady and readable: uppercase forms are wide and stable, lowercase has clear counters and a straightforward two-storey “a,” while the “g” is single-storey with a generous bowl. The overall rhythm is bold and blocky, with subtly tapered curves and sturdy horizontals that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where the dense weight and flared serifs can deliver character and authority. It works well for editorial titles, branding wordmarks, packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a bold, classic-meets-modern presence.
The face conveys a confident, slightly vintage tone—assertive and poster-ready, but tempered by rounded shapes and flared endings that feel approachable. It suggests classic headline typography with a touch of warmth, suited to messaging that wants to feel established rather than austere.
The design appears intended to merge strong display heft with traditional serif cues, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to add personality and soften the mass. It aims for high-impact readability and a distinctive silhouette that remains familiar and text-friendly in larger settings.
Numerals are broad and weighty with strong silhouettes, and punctuation in the sample text reads clean and emphatic at large sizes. The design maintains consistent weight across straight and curved strokes, creating a solid typographic “black” that prioritizes impact and clarity.
