A heavy, wide serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and crisp, triangular terminals. Strokes are sturdy and mostly even, with just enough contrast to keep counters open in the round letters. The face shows strong, sculpted details—beaked corners, wedge-like feet, and sharp joins—creating a dense, confident texture in setting. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a round, prominent i-dot and a single-storey g, while the numerals are similarly weighty and headline-oriented.
Best suited for display applications where weight and width can work to advantage—headlines, mastheads, book or album covers, posters, and identity work needing a traditional serif voice. It can also serve for short bursts of editorial emphasis, such as section headers or pull quotes, where a strong typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and institutional, with a classic print sensibility. Its bold, chiseled serif treatment reads as traditional and dependable, evoking editorial authority and a slightly collegiate, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with amplified weight and width for impact, while retaining readable counters and a familiar text-serif skeleton. Its sharp, wedge-like detailing suggests an aim for a classic, print-forward look that stands out in display contexts without becoming ornamental.
At text sizes the dark color and wide proportions produce a strong rhythm with relatively tight internal whitespace, while the sharp terminals add a lively, engraved feel. The capitals are especially commanding, and the design’s angular serif shapes give it a distinctive, recognizable silhouette.
