A heavy serif with wedge-like, flared stroke endings and short bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems, giving a carved, chiseled feel. Strokes are robust with moderate contrast and a mostly vertical stress, while curves stay full and tightly controlled. The proportions are sturdy and somewhat compact, with relatively small apertures and counters that emphasize mass and solidity. Numerals and capitals appear weighty and stable, with a consistent, punchy texture in paragraph settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a dense, assertive serif voice is needed. It can also work for packaging and editorial display text, especially when you want a traditional, established feel and strong impact at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and commanding with a classic, old-style editorial flavor. Its flared terminals and dense black presence evoke traditional printing, signage, and institutional typography, reading as confident, slightly rustic, and formal without feeling delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a historically grounded serif presence with modern boldness, using flared stroke endings to add character and emphasis while preserving clarity and structure. It prioritizes impact and gravitas, aiming for a dependable, classic tone in display typography.
The face maintains a strong, even rhythm across mixed-case text, producing a dark typographic color that suits display sizes. Curved letters (like C, G, S, and O) remain round and substantial, while terminals and joins keep edges crisp, reinforcing the engraved, heritage character.
