A heavy serif with broad proportions and a strong, compact silhouette. Stems show subtle flare into wedge-like, bracketed serif endings, giving the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic finish without noticeable stroke modulation. Curves are full and rounded, counters tend toward tight, and joins show small notches and pinches that add texture and help keep interior spaces open at display sizes. The overall rhythm is bold and steady, with robust verticals and crisp, angular terminals on letters like E, F, T, V, and W.
Best suited for display typography where mass and character are assets: headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or section headers when generous spacing and size preserve the interior counters.
The tone is assertive and warm, mixing a classic, old-style flavor with a contemporary, punchy presence. Its dense black shapes and flared details feel dependable and slightly nostalgic, well-suited to attention-grabbing headlines that still want a human, crafted character.
Likely designed to provide a high-impact serif voice that feels traditional yet approachable, using flared endings and compact counters to create a distinctive, crafted texture for branding and editorial display.
Numerals match the heavy, rounded construction and maintain clear differentiation, with especially strong, poster-ready figures. The lowercase shows a sturdy, readable structure with round dots and pronounced terminals, keeping the texture lively rather than purely geometric.
