A robust serif with squared-off, subtly rounded corners and strongly bracketed wedge serifs that read as beaked in places. The design combines broad, blocky main strokes with sharper internal cuts, creating a punchy black silhouette and a crisp rhythm in headlines. Counters tend toward rectangular and pill-like shapes, with noticeable notch-like cut-ins at joins (especially in curved letters), giving a slightly engraved or ink-trap flavor. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a heavy, single-storey “a” and “g” and a short-armed “t,” emphasizing a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its dense color and sharp internal shaping can read clearly. It works well for editorial titles, book covers, posters, and packaging that want a classic serif voice with extra impact and a slightly retro print character.
The overall tone feels assertive and traditional, with a vintage, print-forward presence. Its strong, squared forms and emphatic serifs suggest editorial confidence and a slightly collegiate or athletic display energy, while still retaining a conventional serif seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with display-level punch—pairing traditional, bracketed serifs with squared geometry and crisp cut-ins to maintain clarity and personality at large sizes. It prioritizes strong word shapes and a confident page presence over delicate text refinement.
The glyphs show a consistent preference for flattened curves and hard terminals, which produces a distinctive, almost stamped look in text. Numerals follow the same blocky, serifed construction and appear designed to hold their shape at large sizes.
