A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give terminals a sculpted, carved feel. Stems are thick and steady, with moderate contrast and broad, rounded bowls that create a dark, even texture in text. The capitals are wide-set and blocky with crisp horizontals, while the lowercase maintains sturdy proportions and a compact, weighty rhythm. Numerals are bold and high-impact, matching the letterforms with strong verticals and generous curves.
Best suited for large sizes where its strong serifs and flared terminals can be appreciated—such as headlines, mastheads, cover titles, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when a dense, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, projecting stability and formality with a classic print sensibility. Its dense color and confident serifs read as institutional and editorial, with a slightly collegiate, headline-forward presence.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra weight and presence for display typography, combining traditional proportions with flared, bracketed detailing to keep the forms energetic and crafted at large sizes.
In paragraphs the font produces a saturated, high-ink footprint and tight internal counters, which emphasizes impact over delicacy. The serif shaping and flared ends add warmth and craft to an otherwise sturdy, straightforward structure.
