A very heavy, high-contrast serif with stout verticals, tapered joins, and distinctly flared stroke endings that read like soft wedges. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often swell into rounded, ball-like terminals on forms such as C, S, a, and e, giving the face a sculpted, carved feel. Counters are compact and the rhythm is dense; curved strokes show pronounced modulation and tight apertures, while diagonals and junctions are reinforced for stability at large sizes. Figures are similarly weighty with exaggerated curves and clear contrast, matching the uppercase’s robust texture.
Best suited to display settings where weight and contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, striking pull quotes, book and album covers, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text in editorial layouts when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is commanding and traditional, with a theatrical, headline-forward energy. Its dramatic contrast and chunky silhouettes suggest seriousness and heritage while the rounded terminals add a touch of warmth and personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with amplified weight and contrast, using flared endings and rounded terminals to create a distinctive, high-impact texture for display typography.
The typeface builds a strong black-and-white pattern with compact internal spaces, making it most comfortable when given generous tracking and leading. Several letters show deliberately shaped joins and terminals that feel optimized for impact rather than neutrality.
