A sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a shaped, carved feel. Uppercase forms are compact and weighty with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and tight apertures for a dense, efficient texture. Curves are broad and controlled, joins are clean, and counters tend toward oval/rectangular shapes that read clearly at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly solid and compact, matching the overall rhythm and weight distribution.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where its dense color and flared detailing can carry presence. It works well for magazine display, brand marks, packaging, and signage that benefits from a classic serif voice with extra punch.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that still feels energetic due to the flared endings and tight, punchy proportions. It projects authority and clarity, leaning more toward headline impact than delicate refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif impression with added strength and momentum through flared terminals and compact proportions, prioritizing impact and legibility in display typography while maintaining a familiar editorial character.
Spacing appears on the tighter side, producing a dark, continuous color in text. The serifs and terminals create distinct word shapes, and the strong verticals help maintain stability in all-caps settings.
