A very heavy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and compact internal counters. Strokes are largely even in weight, with subtle swelling into the serifs and a sculpted, chiseled finish at corners and joins. The lowercase is sturdy and round (notably in o, e, g), with relatively tight apertures and short, blunt-looking arms that reinforce a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the same flared endings and heavy baseline presence, while overall spacing and rhythm favor strong, blocky word shapes.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and branding where a strong, classic serif presence is needed. It performs well in posters, packaging, and editorial titles, holding up at large sizes where its flared terminals and tight apertures become distinctive. In longer passages it will read dense, so it’s most effective for short blocks, pull quotes, or impactful settings.
The tone is emphatic and traditional, combining old-style gravitas with a bold, headline-forward confidence. Its sturdy shapes and carved terminals suggest a crafted, print-minded voice that feels authoritative rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif vocabulary, using flared terminals and compact counters to create a bold, carved impression. It aims for strong legibility and a confident, editorial voice that can anchor titles and identity work.
The font’s heavy weight and compact counters create a dark typographic color, especially in longer lines. Diagonal strokes and junctions read slightly sharpened, giving letters a subtly incised, engraved character while maintaining a consistent, solid silhouette.
