A very heavy serif with compact proportions and strongly flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into the serifs rather than ending bluntly. Strokes are low-contrast and confidently modeled, with subtle curvature and slight tapering that gives an inked, carved feel at joins and corners. Counters are relatively tight, producing dense texture and strong typographic color; rounds are full and weighty, and the overall rhythm is steady and upright. Lowercase shapes read traditional and sturdy, with a broad, rounded “a,” a deep-shouldered “n/m,” and short ascenders that keep the silhouette blocky and cohesive.
Best used for headlines, mastheads, titles, and short emphatic statements where its dense color and flared serif character can read clearly. It also suits branding and packaging that want a traditional, authoritative voice, and works well in large-scale signage or poster typography where the bold modeling becomes a visual feature.
The font conveys authority and a traditional, print-forward sensibility—confident, weighty, and a bit theatrical in its bold presence. It feels suited to heritage or institutional tones, with an editorial gravitas that can swing toward vintage poster energy when set large.
The design appears intended as a high-impact serif for display typography, combining traditional letterform construction with flared, bracketed endings to create a distinctive, sturdy silhouette. Its heavy weight and compact counters prioritize presence and personality over delicate detail.
At display sizes the flared endings and soft bracketing become a defining signature, while at smaller sizes the dense counters and heavy weight can make lines feel compact. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, squared-off sturdiness, keeping mixed settings consistent and impactful.
