A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed, slightly flared serifs. The forms are broad and sturdy, with rounded joins, deep ink traps-like notches in places, and a generally softened, carved feel rather than sharp rational geometry. Counters are compact and well-contained, terminals often finish in subtle teardrops or beak-like shapes, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals) show deliberate thick–thin rhythm. The lowercase is robust with a short-to-moderate ascender/descender feel and a single-storey a and g; punctuation and figures match the same weighty, editorial texture.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short passages where strong presence is desired—editorial layouts, book and magazine covers, posters, and heritage-leaning branding. It can work in larger text settings when a rich, weighty page color is acceptable, but it will feel most comfortable in display-led typography.
The overall tone reads traditional and emphatic—like a classic book or newspaper voice turned up for display. Its rounded, slightly old-style detailing adds warmth and familiarity, while the mass and contrast project confidence and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened impact—combining traditional, old-style-inspired details with a dense, attention-grabbing silhouette for contemporary display and editorial use.
At text sizes it will create a dense, dark typographic color with strong word shapes and prominent serifs. The numerals are bold and characterful (notably the 2, 3, 5, and 9), supporting headlines and prominent numeric callouts alongside the letters.
