A heavy, display-oriented serif with compact internal counters and pronounced stroke contrast. Stems and terminals broaden into flared, wedge-like endings that read as tightly bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. The letterforms are broad and stable with squared shoulders and firm horizontal bars; curves are full and rounded, while joins and terminals stay sharp and decisive. In text, the weight and narrow apertures create a dense color and a strong, rhythmic cadence.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short blocks of text where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can work well for editorial display, packaging, and brand marks that need a traditional yet forceful voice; it is less suited to long-form reading at smaller sizes due to its tight counters and strong mass.
The overall tone feels assertive and formal, with a classic print sensibility that hints at newspaper and book-jacket typography. Its flared endings add a slightly ceremonial, engraved character, making it feel authoritative and attention-grabbing rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra impact, combining traditional proportions with emphatic flared terminals to produce a bold, engraved-like presence for display typography.
Uppercase forms present a strong, monumental presence, while lowercase maintains stout proportions and a solid baseline. Numerals appear equally weighty and built for impact, keeping the same flared terminal language and compact counters for a consistent, emphatic texture.
