A heavy, compact serif with flared terminals and wedge-like, beaked endings that thicken into the joins. Strokes are broadly uniform with softened modulation, producing sturdy, ink-trap-free silhouettes and a dense typographic color. Counters are relatively tight and round, and the curves are generously filled, giving letters a squat, powerful stance. Serifs read as short, integrated flares rather than long slabs, and the overall rhythm is steady and blocky with slightly irregular, lively widths across characters.
Well suited to headlines, posters, cover lines, and branding where a strong, classic serif presence is needed. It can work effectively on packaging and signage, especially when set with a bit of extra spacing to keep the dense forms from closing up at smaller sizes.
The font conveys a confident, old-style boldness with a distinctly vintage, headline-driven personality. Its thick forms and flared finishing strokes feel familiar and traditional, while still projecting an energetic, attention-grabbing tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, using flared terminals and compact proportions to create a distinctive, robust display texture.
At large sizes it reads crisply as a display face, where the flared endings and compact counters become key identifying features. In longer settings the dense texture and tight apertures can feel heavy, so generous tracking and leading help maintain clarity.
