A very heavy, high-contrast serif with compact counters and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes swell and taper with a crisp vertical stress, while terminals often finish in softened, beak-like shapes that add a slightly calligraphic bite. The letterforms are wide and sturdy with pronounced shoulders and rounded joins; bowls are full and dark, and apertures are relatively tight, producing a dense, ink-rich color. Numerals and capitals match the strong, traditional proportions, and the overall rhythm favors bold, authoritative silhouettes over delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and display typography where a bold, traditional serif voice is needed. It can work for editorial or brand applications that want a classic, authoritative feel, especially in short passages, pull quotes, packaging, or signage where high visual weight improves prominence.
The tone is assertive and classic, evoking traditional print, heritage editorial typography, and headline authority. Its weight and contrast communicate seriousness and confidence, with subtle warmth from the rounded brackets and softened terminals.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-minded serif pushed into a strongly bold, high-contrast display register, preserving familiar proportions while amplifying weight, serif presence, and punchy silhouettes for attention-grabbing typography.
At text sizes it reads as intentionally dense, with tight counters and strong interior shapes; it will reward generous spacing and larger sizes where the serif shaping and contrast can breathe. The forms feel consistent across upper- and lowercase, with a uniform, solid presence that emphasizes impact over lightness.
