A very heavy display serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and strong, sculpted serifs. The letterforms are broad and compactly set, with tight internal counters and a crisp, high-contrast rhythm between thick verticals and thinner joins. Terminals often finish in rounded, club-like shapes, while serifs read as beaked and slightly bracketed, giving the outlines a carved, poster-like solidity. Lowercase forms are robust with a tall x-height and minimal delicacy, and the numerals match the same dense, emphatic color on the page.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and bold packaging panels where strong presence is required. It can also work well for logotypes and branding marks that benefit from a classic, flared-serif character and substantial visual weight.
The overall tone is bold and confident, leaning toward a vintage, headline-driven voice. Its weight and flared detailing add a slightly ceremonial, old-school flair, while the rounded terminals keep it approachable rather than sharp or austere.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in large-scale typography while retaining a traditional serif identity. The flared strokes, beaked serifs, and rounded terminals suggest a deliberate blend of heritage editorial cues with a contemporary, high-energy display presence.
In the text sample, the font produces an even, dark typographic color with strong word shapes at large sizes. The heavy joins and narrow apertures suggest it is most comfortable in short bursts of text where its distinctive flared endings and chunky silhouettes can be appreciated.
