A heavy, high-impact serif with strongly bracketed, flared stroke endings and beak-like terminals. Stems are thick and steady, with moderate contrast and generous, rounded bowls that keep counters open despite the weight. The capitals feel broad-shouldered and stable, while the lowercase is compact with substantial joins and short, sturdy serifs; overall spacing reads slightly tight, emphasizing a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals are similarly weighty and round, matching the letterforms’ solid, sculpted rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its strong serif presence and dense texture can do the work—posters, book and magazine titles, packaging, and identity systems needing a traditional, premium tone. In running text it remains readable at display sizes, but its heavy weight and tight overall color make it most effective for emphasis rather than long, small-size reading.
The font projects confidence and tradition, with a classic editorial seriousness that can also read collegiate and institutional. Its dense color and flared finishing details add a sense of craft and permanence, leaning more authoritative than playful.
The design appears intended as a bold, classic display serif that combines traditional proportions with distinctive flared terminals for extra punch. Its consistent weight and sturdy detailing suggest a focus on impact, authority, and a refined-yet-robust voice across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Across both cases, the design maintains consistent flare and bracketing, producing a uniform, dark typographic color in paragraphs. The shapes favor sturdy geometry over delicacy, with pronounced vertical emphasis and carefully rounded curves that prevent the forms from feeling brittle at large sizes.
