A heavy, high-contrast serif with wedge-like, flared terminals and strongly bracketed joins. The letterforms show sturdy verticals and tapered exits that create sharp, triangular serifs rather than flat slabs, giving the strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Counters are moderately tight and the overall texture is dense, with emphatic tops and bases that read cleanly at display sizes. The lowercase uses compact, robust shapes with distinct, pointed terminals on letters like a, c, e, and s, and a double-storey g that reinforces the traditional text-seriffed structure.
Best suited to display typography where strong contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated—magazine and news-style headlines, book and album covers, posters, and brand marks that need a classic but forceful voice. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or section headers when a dense, authoritative texture is desired.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a dramatic, headline-forward presence. Its sharp flares and strong contrast add a slightly formal, almost literary feel, balancing classic bookish cues with a more assertive, contemporary punch.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif voice by combining robust, dark stems with sharply flared, wedge-like endings for impact. It aims for immediate readability and a strong typographic color in large sizes, while retaining traditional serif construction and familiar forms.
The uppercase has a monumental, inscriptional steadiness, while the lowercase introduces more movement through tapered endings and angled stress. Numerals are similarly weighty and crisp, matching the set’s strong baseline presence and overall dark color.
