A dense, heavy serif with compact proportions and strong, bracketed serifs that flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are broadly consistent with moderate contrast, and many joins show small scooped notches that read like ink-trap detailing at display sizes. Uppercase forms are wide and sturdy with assertive horizontals, while the lowercase keeps a relatively even rhythm with rounded bowls and occasional ball terminals. Numerals are similarly weighty and sculpted, maintaining the same sharp serif language and solid typographic color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short text where its strong serifs and dark color can create impact. It also works well for editorial titling, book covers, and branding systems that want a classic serif voice with extra heft and character.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its weight and crisp terminals give it a confident, slightly vintage voice suited to emphatic, attention-getting typography rather than delicate nuance.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened weight and sharper terminal drama, optimizing for presence and print-like impact. The carved joins and wedge serifs appear designed to keep shapes crisp and recognizable at larger sizes while adding a distinctive texture.
The design leans on sharp triangular serifs and carved-in counters, producing a lively silhouette in letters like J, Q, S, and y. In paragraph settings the texture is bold and dark, so spacing and line length will strongly affect perceived readability.
