A heavy serif with strongly bracketed, flared terminals and a compact interior rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with crisp joins and broad, sculpted serifs that read as wedge-like rather than slabby. The face is drawn on a wide set with generous caps and robust lowercase, while counters are relatively tight, giving letters a dense, poster-ready color. Numerals match the overall weight and contrast, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) feeling particularly solid and tightly enclosed.
Best suited to headlines and short-form typography where weight, contrast, and serif character can carry the message—posters, magazine/opening spreads, branding lockups, packaging, and bold pull quotes. It can also work for section headers in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face to maintain readability in longer passages.
The overall tone is assertive and throwback, combining traditional serif cues with a punchy, display-first presence. It suggests classic print ephemera—headlines, signage, and emphatic statements—more than quiet, contemporary neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with maximum impact at display sizes, balancing conventional proportions with exaggerated weight, contrast, and prominent serifs to create strong, memorable wordmarks and headlines.
Round letters like O/C/G and the bowls of a/b/d/p show a sturdy, near-circular construction with small apertures, while horizontals and serifs create a strong baseline and capline emphasis. The italic is not shown; all samples present a straight, upright stance with emphatic punctuation and strong word shapes at large sizes.
