A heavy, display-oriented serif with broad proportions and prominent flared terminals that swell from the stems into wedge-like endings. Curves are full and rounded, with compact apertures and a generally dense texture; counters stay readable but feel intentionally tight. Serifs appear bracketed and smoothly integrated, giving the letterforms a sculpted, carved quality rather than a sharply mechanical one. The lowercase shows a large footprint with strong verticals and sturdy joins, while numerals match the overall weight and maintain the same compact, high-impact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where a dense, attention-grabbing serif is desirable—magazine covers, posters, title treatments, and bold brand marks. It can also work for packaging and editorial pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing to prevent the heavy texture from closing in.
The tone is bold and declarative, combining a classic editorial seriousness with a slightly playful, retro swagger. Its flared endings and rounded massing suggest heritage and authority, but the exaggerated weight and tight counters add theatrical punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, using flared terminals and softened bracketed serifs to evoke a classic, print-rooted sensibility while staying unmistakably contemporary in weight and presence.
In text samples, the dark color and tight internal spaces create a strong headline texture that benefits from generous tracking and line spacing at larger sizes. The overall rhythm is steady and upright, with consistent weight distribution that keeps words feeling solid and blocky.
