A heavy, compact serif with flared strokes and wedge-like terminals that broaden as they meet the baseline and cap line. The forms are built from sturdy, low-contrast strokes with subtly rounded corners and occasional ink-trap-like notches in tight joins, helping counters stay open at weight. Serifs are brackety and integrated rather than slabby, and the overall construction favors short apertures and generous internal shapes. Numerals and capitals read strongly with a stable, upright posture and a slightly condensed, poster-ready footprint.
Best suited to headlines and short-form text where impact and presence matter—editorial titles, packaging, signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for subheads and pull quotes when you want a traditional, authoritative tone with a slightly quirky, carved-stroke personality.
The font projects a confident, old-school solidity—part classic newspaper headline, part modern display heft. Its flared endings and sculpted joins add warmth and a crafted feel, while the dense black color gives it an assertive, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight with a classic serif sensibility, using flared terminals and sculpted joins to keep the silhouette lively and counters legible. It balances a historical, print-inspired voice with the practicality of a dense display face for modern layouts.
In running samples, the texture is dark and even, with crisp word shapes driven by strong verticals and wide, rounded bowls. The lowercase maintains a sturdy rhythm and benefits from the tapered terminals and carved joins, which keep small counters from clogging.
