A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and sturdy bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than hairline. Strokes are broadly even with minimal contrast, producing dense, confident letterforms and strong color on the page. Counters are relatively compact and the curves are full, while joins and terminals show subtle faceting that keeps edges crisp. The lowercase follows a traditional two-storey construction where applicable and maintains a solid, upright rhythm; numerals match the weight and presence with similarly robust shaping.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, posters, and book-cover typography where a bold serif presence is desirable. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative tone, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing to balance its dense color.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an old-style, print-forward feel that suggests tradition and credibility. Its weight and flared finishing give it a bold, poster-like confidence without becoming decorative. The texture feels formal and established, lending a serious, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra weight and visual punch, using flared stroke endings and strong serifs to create a carved, print-centric character. It prioritizes impact and stability while keeping proportions and construction familiar for straightforward typographic use.
At text sizes the strong serifs and compact counters create a dark, continuous texture; at larger sizes the flared terminals and bracket transitions become a key stylistic signature. The design stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing solidity and impact over delicacy.
