A heavy, high-contrast serif with prominent bracketed serifs and a distinctly wide set. Strokes transition sharply from thick stems to hairline connections, with rounded joins and subtly flared terminals that keep the letterforms from feeling brittle at display sizes. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, while lowercase forms show a sturdy rhythm with open bowls, a two-storey “a,” and clear, sculpted terminals; the numerals share the same weighty presence and sharp contrast. Overall spacing reads on the tight side in text, creating a dense, emphatic texture, especially in bold setting.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other editorial display work where its bold color, contrast, and wide proportions can project. It can also serve for short emphasis blocks in print or web layouts, but dense paragraph settings may require relaxed tracking and comfortable leading to avoid a heavy, compressed texture.
The font communicates a confident, editorial tone—formal and assertive, with a traditional bookish flavor amplified by its weight and contrast. Its wide stance and polished serif detailing give it a headline-forward presence that feels established and authoritative rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif tuned for impact: traditional structure and serif detailing combined with pronounced contrast and width to create strong headline authority while preserving familiar, readable forms.
Diagonal letters (such as V/W/X/Y) show crisp hairline junctions and sharp interior angles that heighten the contrast-driven sparkle. Round letters (O/Q/e/o) retain generous counters, which helps legibility despite the dense color and tight line breaks in the sample text.
