A very heavy serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly flared finish to many strokes, producing sturdy verticals and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are generously bracketed and often wedge-like, with rounded joins that keep the dense shapes from feeling brittle. Counters are compact but clearly cut, and the curves show a slightly “inked” softness that reads as robust rather than geometric. The lowercase has a traditional, text-like skeleton with ball terminals and teardrop-like details, while the caps are blocky and commanding with strong, sculpted strokes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its dense weight and sculpted serifs can be appreciated—magazine/editorial titles, book covers, posters, and heritage-leaning branding. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The tone feels vintage and editorial, with a confident, poster-ready presence. Its flared, sculptural endings add warmth and a touch of old-world craft, while the heavy contrast gives it drama and authority. Overall it suggests classic print—newspaper headlines, book titling, and heritage branding—rather than minimal modernism.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif voice, combining high-contrast structure with flared, bracketed endings for a carved, print-era feel. It prioritizes personality and authority in large sizes while maintaining recognizable, traditional letterforms.
The design leans into bold black shapes with crisp internal carving, so it holds up best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing. Numerals match the overall heft and contrast, reinforcing a display-forward rhythm.
