A robust serif with broad proportions, a tall lowercase, and sturdy verticals that flare subtly into bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show moderate modulation, with gently swollen joins and tapered endings that give the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic profile rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, while apertures stay open enough to keep the rhythm clear in text. Numerals match the heavy, sculpted color, with simple, stable forms and pronounced terminal shaping.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its dark color and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It performs well in editorial layouts, book-cover titling, and display applications such as posters or premium packaging where a traditional, confident voice is desired.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a warm, crafted finish that reads as editorial and bookish rather than purely corporate. Its dense color and flared details bring a sense of heritage and ceremony, making statements feel deliberate and confident.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver strong typographic presence while retaining a classical serif sensibility, using flared terminals and moderated contrast to balance impact with refinement. The tall lowercase and broad proportions suggest an aim toward legible, emphatic display typography with an old-style, crafted undertone.
The design leans on strong horizontals and prominent serifs to create a steady baseline and a high-contrast texture at larger sizes. Diagonals and curved letters retain a slightly softened tension at terminals, which helps the heavy weight feel less blunt and more refined.
