A very heavy, upright serif with compact counters and a high-ink, poster-like color. Strokes remain largely even while subtly swelling into flared, bracketed endings, producing softened serifs rather than sharp hairlines. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), and joins are sturdy with minimal delicacy. The lowercase is broad and weighty with a simple two-storey-like structure avoided in favor of single-storey forms (a, g) and strong bowls; terminals and crossbars read thick and stable. Figures are bold and blocky with clear, straightforward silhouettes that match the overall mass and rhythm of the letters.
This style is well-suited to display typography such as headlines, editorial titles, posters, and mastheads where weight and presence are essential. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a classic, sturdy serif voice, especially when set with ample leading and tracking.
The tone is assertive and traditional, with a warm, slightly nostalgic feel. Its dense shapes and softened flare details give it a confident, headline-forward voice that can feel classic without becoming formal or fragile.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif vocabulary, using flared, bracketed endings and rounded construction to keep the boldness approachable. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture for attention-grabbing, high-contrast layout moments.
In text settings the font maintains strong horizontal rhythm and consistent texture, but the heavy weight narrows interior spaces, making it best when given generous size or spacing. The flared endings add character at larger sizes, where the serif shaping and rounded joins become more noticeable.
