A heavy, tightly drawn serif with flared stroke endings and small, bracketed serifs that read as chiseled terminals. Strokes are broadly even with minimal contrast, but the joins and inner corners show subtle notch-like shaping that adds bite and helps keep counters open at weight. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a single-storey a and sturdy, upright rhythm. Numerals are equally weighty and squared-off, matching the letterforms’ compact, poster-ready color.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and short bursts of text where its dense color and distinctive terminals can carry the message. It works well for branding, packaging, and poster typography that needs a classic, commanding presence. For longer text, it is most effective at larger sizes where the inner detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is assertive and old-school, mixing a classic print sensibility with a display-forward heaviness. It evokes vintage editorial headlines and collegiate or Western-tinged signage without becoming overly ornate. The sharp, carved details give it a confident, slightly rugged voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that retains traditional serif cues while adding flared, carved terminals for stronger personality and durability at heavy weight. Its consistent stroke mass and compact counters suggest a focus on bold readability and a distinctive, heritage-leaning texture in headline settings.
The glyph set emphasizes strong silhouettes and dark texture; spacing appears designed to hold together in large settings. The distinct terminal shaping and notched joins create a recognizable texture line-to-line, especially in all-caps and title case.
