A dense, heavy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and strongly bracketed serifs that give the letters a carved, beaked look. Strokes are broadly weighted with moderate modulation, and the counters remain relatively compact, producing a dark, poster-like color in text. Round letters show sturdy, slightly squarish shaping, while joins and terminals emphasize wedge and teardrop forms; the lowercase includes visible ball/ink-trap-like terminals on forms such as a, c, f, and j. Figures are robust and wide-footed, matching the emphatic texture of the caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, decks, posters, and cover typography where its dark color and flared serif character can read decisively. It can also work for editorial branding, mastheads, and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative presence, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels traditional and commanding, with a distinctly old-style, print-era gravitas. Its heavy color and flared detailing suggest a classic editorial or institutional voice—serious, established, and a bit theatrical in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, heritage-forward serif voice with sculpted, flared terminals that hold up in impactful display use. It prioritizes a strong typographic silhouette and a confident, traditional rhythm over minimalism or light, text-centric neutrality.
The glyphs show a consistent, sculpted terminal language across cases, helping large sizes read with strong personality. In paragraph-like sample text, the weight creates high impact and a compact rhythm, favoring short bursts of copy over delicate, airy composition.
