A heavy serif design with broad, compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Stems and arms flare into wedge-like, softly bracketed terminals, giving the serifs a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than crisp hairlines. Counters are relatively small for the weight, with rounded internal shapes and occasional notch-like joins that read like subtle ink-trap behavior. The lowercase shows sturdy, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short ascenders/descenders, keeping the texture dense and even at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where strong typographic presence is needed—posters, editorial titles, branding marks, and packaging. The dense, weight-forward shapes can hold up well in high-impact applications and simple signage, especially where a classic-but-bold serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a retro editorial flavor that also nods to traditional signage and collegiate heft. Its flared endings add warmth and a slightly old-world dignity, while the bold color keeps it assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while retaining a traditional serif identity. By using flared, wedge-like terminals and compact counters, it balances a vintage, crafted sensibility with modern headline punch and uniform texture.
Round letters like O and C are generously curved with minimal visible contrast, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay thick and stable. Numerals are weighty and compact, matching the letterforms closely for consistent headline color.
