A very heavy serif with softly flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs, giving the letterforms a carved, sculptural feel. Strokes are broad with moderate contrast, and terminals tend to round off rather than end crisply, creating dense black shapes without looking mechanical. Counters are relatively tight and the overall spacing feels compact, which reinforces a weighty, headline-driven rhythm. The lowercase shows sturdy, traditional proportions (two-storey a, single-storey g) with short, thick arms and a consistent vertical stress across the set.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense color and sculpted serifs can carry impact—headlines, mastheads, posters, packaging, and brand marks that need a classic, commanding voice. In longer text it will feel strong and attention-grabbing, working most comfortably in short passages, pull quotes, or subheads rather than small, continuous reading.
The font conveys a confident, old-world seriousness—more traditional than playful—while its rounded terminals keep it from feeling harsh. It reads as classic and authoritative, with a poster-like presence that suggests heritage and permanence.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, traditional serif voice with flared, softened finishing that adds warmth and a crafted quality. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouettes and a compact, high-impact texture appropriate for editorial and promotional display typography.
The figures are bold and blocky with strong silhouette clarity, matching the heavy texture of the letters. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S emphasize roundness and softened joins, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain stout and stable, maintaining an even, dark typographic color.
