A heavy, tightly constructed serif with broad, rounded bowls and compact internal counters. Strokes are fairly even, with subtle contrast and noticeable swelling into flared, bracketed serifs that read more sculpted than sharp. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and crotches show dark, pinched areas that create a slightly carved, ink-trap-like texture at larger sizes. Overall spacing and proportions feel steady and centered, with lowercase forms that remain stout and highly legible.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks where a strong serif presence is desired—magazine and newspaper-style editorial work, book covers, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for impactful subheads and pull quotes where density and authority are more important than airy readability.
The tone is confident and old-school, combining a newspaper-classic solidity with a slightly sculptural, engraved finish. Its weight and flared endings give it a commanding, authoritative voice that feels serious rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra visual mass and a distinctive flared finishing, producing strong typographic color and a carved, confident silhouette for prominent display settings.
Round letters like C, O, and Q appear especially broad and dense, emphasizing a strong black footprint on the page. The lowercase maintains a sturdy rhythm with minimal delicacy, and the numerals match the same compact, weighty presence for consistent typographic color.
