A heavy display serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sculpted, flared terminals. Serifs read as wedge-like and often softly bracketed into the stems, giving corners a carved, inked look rather than a sharp mechanical finish. Curves show tight apertures and strong interior counters, with occasional teardrop and ball-like terminals on letters such as a, e, and g. The overall texture is dense and dark, with slightly elastic widths across glyphs and a rhythmic alternation between thick verticals and thinner connecting strokes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short emphatic copy where its dense weight and dramatic contrast can do the work. It can add a classic, premium tone to branding and packaging, and it is particularly effective for titles that need a vintage-editorial or institutional voice.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a dramatic, poster-ready presence. Its flared, calligraphic cues and weighty silhouettes suggest authority and ceremony, while the rounded terminals add a touch of warmth and vintage charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif voice with a distinctly flared, inked finish—combining classical proportions with expressive terminals to maximize impact in display settings.
The numerals mirror the letterforms with bold bowls and tapered joins, keeping a consistent, engraved feel. The design favors compact counters and strong black shapes, which helps it read as punchy at large sizes but can feel tight and busy when set in long lines.
