A heavy, compact serif with tapered strokes that broaden into subtly flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are built on broad, rounded bowls and thick joins, keeping counters relatively small and the overall color dense. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in C, O, S, and the numerals), while straight stems end in firm, wedge-like feet and tops that give the face a carved, poster-ready presence. The lowercase shows robust, simplified shapes with a sturdy double-storey a, single-storey g, a short-armed r, and a blocky, highly readable t; punctuation and figures match the same stout rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where dense typographic color and strong silhouette matter. It can also support short editorial callouts, book or magazine covers, and packaging systems that benefit from a bold, traditional-meets-modern serif voice.
The font conveys confidence and impact with a slightly vintage, print-forward flavor. Its flared endings and strong serifs add warmth and a crafted feel, balancing authority with approachability rather than a purely geometric or industrial tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence while retaining serif character through flared terminals and bracketing, creating a contemporary display face with a classic print sensibility.
Spacing appears comfortable for display sizes, with shapes that prioritize mass and stability over delicacy. The numerals are bold and rounded, with clear differentiation and a consistent, weighty texture that holds up well in short bursts of text.
