A very heavy serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often flare into cupped, wedge-like ends, giving the forms a sculpted, inked-in look. Counters are compact and the joins are soft and rounded, with occasional ball-like terminals and subtle notches that add texture. Overall proportions are sturdy and upright, with a lively rhythm from slightly varied stroke endings and generous curves in bowls and shoulders.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is desired—headlines, pull quotes, posters, and cover typography. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic, old-style serif impression with extra heft. In longer text it will favor larger sizes and generous spacing due to its dense color and compact counters.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a vintage print flavor that reads as authoritative and slightly theatrical. Its weight and sculpted details create a bold, attention-getting voice while still feeling rooted in classic serif conventions.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif structure with amplified weight and sharpened, cupped terminals for maximum impact. The combination of bracketed serifs, high contrast, and rounded joins suggests an aim to evoke vintage print while remaining clear and cohesive in modern display typography.
The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded construction and tight apertures that increase darkness and cohesion in text. Numerals appear similarly weighty and compact, maintaining the same flared serif logic and high-impact presence across the set.
