A very heavy serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and faceted joins that give stems and bowls a carved, chiseled look. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and terminals often end in angled cuts, creating a crisp, slightly irregular rhythm. The lowercase shows sturdy proportions with a straightforward two-storey “a,” compact “e,” and a small, square-ish dot on “i/j,” while capitals have broad, stable silhouettes and pronounced feet. Numerals are bold and blocky with clear, poster-friendly shapes and minimal delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where its weight and carved detailing can carry the layout. It also works well for posters, book or magazine titling, packaging, and signage that benefits from a traditional serif voice with strong impact.
The overall tone is bold and traditional, projecting confidence and a slightly rustic, old-style character. Its sculpted details and firm serifs add a hint of vintage signage and editorial gravitas, while the dense color makes it feel assertive and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with extra visual bite—combining conventional proportions with sculpted terminals and sturdy bracketing to remain legible while feeling distinctive at larger sizes.
At text sizes the heavy stroke density creates a dark typographic color, so spacing and line height become important for comfortable reading. The angled terminals and notched-looking joins add texture that becomes more pronounced as size increases, making it particularly expressive for display settings.
