A heavy, assertive serif with flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that broaden out from the stems rather than forming hard slabs. The letterforms are wide-set with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and compact internal counters that keep the texture dense and dark. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and terminals stay crisp, creating a steady rhythm well suited to large sizes. Numerals match the overall mass with broad shapes and straightforward, highly legible silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where impact and a classic serif voice are needed. It can also serve editorial layouts and packaging that benefit from a dense, high-visibility typographic color, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and authoritative with a traditional, print-forward feel. Its flared serifs and dense color suggest established institutions and headline-driven editorial work, conveying confidence and solidity rather than delicacy.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, traditional serif impression with modern robustness: wide proportions, dense color, and flared endings that add character without relying on high contrast. The intent appears focused on confident display typography that remains readable and structured.
The uppercase reads especially monumental due to broad proportions and strong horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike presence with a clear, upright stance. The weight distribution keeps forms stable in tight setting, though the small counters favor display usage over extended text at small sizes.
