A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and noticeably tapered strokes that create sharp triangular notches at joins. The letterforms lean on strong verticals and tight apertures, with compact internal counters and brisk, angular terminals. Several glyphs show subtle ink-trap behavior where strokes meet, and the lowercase includes distinctive ball-like terminals and a single-storey “g” with a large lower bowl. Numerals are sturdy and wide-set, with clear, traditional forms and a bold, print-forward color on the page.
This font is best suited for display typography such as headlines, cover titles, mastheads, and bold brand marks where a classic serif presence is desired. It can work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but its dense texture favors larger sizes and generous spacing over long-form body copy.
The overall tone is emphatic and old-world, combining a classic newspaper/advertising gravity with a slightly theatrical, poster-like punch. Its sharp wedges and dark texture give it a decisive, authoritative voice that feels both vintage and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif authority while amplifying impact through extreme weight, sharp wedge detailing, and high-contrast strokes. It prioritizes memorable silhouette and strong page color for attention-driven display settings.
In text, the dense weight and tight counters increase the perceived darkness, so spacing and line length will strongly affect readability. The crisp wedge detailing reads especially clearly at display sizes, where the angular cuts and terminals become a defining character.
