A heavy, wide serif with flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Strokes stay largely monolinear, relying on mass and tapering terminals rather than strong contrast for definition. The forms are roomy and expansive in uppercase, with broad bowls and squared-off shoulders, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, slightly compact rhythm with round dots and short, firm joins. Numerals share the same weight and breadth, with broad curves and stable, blocky silhouettes that read confidently at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other prominent text where its width and weight can project presence. It can work well for magazine or newspaper-style editorial layouts, branding with a classic bent, and packaging or signage that benefits from sturdy, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a strong editorial presence. Its flared serifs and broad proportions evoke established print typography—authoritative and slightly formal—while the softened, bracketed shaping keeps it approachable rather than sharp or aggressive.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra visual weight and breadth, using flared terminals to add character and a crafted, print-oriented finish. Its consistent, sturdy construction suggests an emphasis on punchy display readability and a confident typographic tone.
The design emphasizes horizontal spread and stout proportions, producing strong word shapes in all-caps and attention-grabbing headlines. Curves are full and generous, and terminals frequently finish with angled, chiseled wedges that add momentum and a subtly engraved feel.
