A dense, heavy serif with compact proportions and a strong, dark color on the page. Strokes show moderate contrast with thick, rounded joins and bracketed serifs that soften transitions into stems. Terminals often finish in bulbous or teardrop-like shapes, giving curves a slightly swollen, ink-trap-adjacent feel without becoming decorative. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is punchy and emphatic, favoring impact over airy refinement.
Best suited for short-to-medium text at display sizes—headlines, subheads, mastheads, and title treatments—where its dense color and bracketed serif structure hold attention. It can also work for packaging or book-cover typography that needs a classic, weighty presence, especially in single-color applications.
The tone is traditional and insistent, with a newspaper-like gravitas and a slightly old-fashioned warmth. Its weight and compactness read as confident and declarative, suited to messaging that wants to feel established and trustworthy rather than light or minimal.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened visual force: a compact, heavy build paired with softened brackets and rounded terminals to keep the texture readable and approachable at larger sizes.
The face maintains a consistent, sturdy texture across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with rounded details that prevent the boldness from feeling harsh. Curved letters (like C, G, S, and a/e) emphasize full, cushioned forms, while straighter letters keep crisp, stable edges through bracketed serifs.
