A very heavy serif with pronounced bracketed, slightly flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings rather than flat slabs. The forms are compact and sturdy, with generous, rounded bowls and a tight interior rhythm that keeps counters relatively small at display sizes. Serifs are short and angular with smooth transitions into the stems, giving a carved, poster-like solidity. Overall proportions read traditional and upright, with consistent weight distribution and subtle contrast that shows most clearly in curved letters and the joins.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where a strong, classic voice is needed. It can work for short editorial deck text or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and leading, but the dense color and small counters make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is bold and assured with a classic, slightly old-fashioned flavor—more newspaper headline and heritage signage than minimalist contemporary. Its weight and flared finishing lend a warm, authoritative presence that feels energetic without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif structure, combining sturdy proportions with flared, bracketed detailing to create a confident, heritage-leaning headline face.
Lowercase shapes lean toward traditional serif construction with strong shoulders and compact apertures; the numerals match the same dense, headline-driven color. The design’s heavy ink and tight counters benefit from ample size and breathing room, especially in longer text blocks.
