A heavy serif with pronounced, softly bracketed serifs and flared stroke endings that give the shapes a carved, inked presence. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with sturdy verticals and tapered joins that add snap to curves and diagonals. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, while terminals and serifs remain broad and supportive, producing strong word shapes. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a rounded, single-storey-style feel in letters like a and g, and a large x-height presence relative to the ascenders.
Best suited for display settings where bold typographic color is needed—headlines, magazine and newspaper-style titling, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short, emphatic subheads or pull quotes, especially where a classic serif voice and strong contrast help establish hierarchy.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that feels suited to serious, declarative messaging. Its strong modulation and confident serifs add drama without becoming ornate, suggesting a classic, established voice rather than a casual one.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a commanding, classic serif presence with flared endings that enhance impact at large sizes. The strong modulation and generous serifs suggest an aim to balance tradition with punchy, contemporary editorial emphasis.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm across caps and lowercase, with noticeable punctuation weight and sturdy numerals that match the text color. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize strong internal contrast and tapered transitions, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a sharp, chiseled energy through flared endings.
