A heavy, sturdy serif with flared, bracketed stroke endings that broaden into crisp wedge-like terminals. Strokes are largely even in weight, with modest modulation and a compact internal spacing that gives the letters a dense, punchy color. Curves are full and smooth, while joins and corners show subtle notching/ink-trap-like shaping that helps keep counters open at bold sizes. The overall rhythm is upright and steady, balancing broad bowls and strong verticals with conservative, readable proportions.
Best suited to display and headline typography where weight and presence matter: magazine titles, section headers, posters, and packaging. It can also serve as an accent face in editorial layouts—pull quotes, subheads, and short passages—where a dense, emphatic serif texture is desired.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, with a confident, headline-ready presence. Its flared endings and compact density add a slightly engraved, old-style seriousness without feeling delicate. Overall it reads as bold, dependable, and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while retaining recognizable serif structure and a classical, print-minded texture. Flared terminals and compact counters suggest an emphasis on durability and clarity in bold settings, aiming for an authoritative voice that remains legible and cohesive across mixed-case text.
Uppercase forms emphasize solidity (notably in C/G/S curves and wide bowls), while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with short, sturdy serifs and strong stems. Numerals are bold and rounded with clear silhouettes, designed to hold up in prominent settings.
