A heavy, display-oriented serif with broad proportions and strong stroke modulation. The letterforms show pronounced, bracketed serifs and rounded, ball-like terminals that create a soft, sculpted edge despite the dense weight. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture runs dark and even, with a steady baseline and upright stance. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that echo the lowercase rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, and mastheads where its dense color and high-contrast detailing can carry across a page. It can also work for book covers and editorial titles that want a traditional, authoritative voice, especially when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, with an editorial, bookish presence. Its wide, weighty shapes read as confident and formal, while the rounded terminals add a slightly warm, vintage character rather than a sharp, modern feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-impact serif voice with a recognizable silhouette, combining strong contrast with softened terminals for a distinctive display flavor. Its oldstyle numeral styling suggests a text-tradition influence, adapted for bold, attention-forward typography.
Spacing and sidebearings look suited to headline settings, where the compact internal spaces and wide forms can breathe at larger sizes. The design’s distinctive balls and curved joins provide strong personality cues that become more apparent in running sample text.
