A heavy serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stems that create a carved, chiseled feel. The strokes are broadly robust with moderate modulation, and the joins are clean and decisive, producing crisp interior corners and compact counters. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase maintains a solid, workmanlike rhythm with strong vertical emphasis. Numerals match the weight and stance, reading clearly at display sizes with bold, simple shapes and firm terminals.
Best suited for large sizes where its sharp serifs and flared endings can read as intentional detail—headlines, mastheads, book or magazine titling, packaging, and branding. It also fits sports and institutional graphics that benefit from a bold, authoritative serif presence. For extended text, it will produce a strong, dark texture, making it more appropriate for short blocks, pull quotes, or subheads than long-form body copy.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, projecting strength and tradition rather than delicacy. Its pointed serifs and sculpted terminals add a dramatic, almost engraved character that feels sporty and headline-forward. The texture on the page is dark and steady, giving text a commanding, institutional voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact while retaining a traditional serif structure, using wedge terminals and flared strokes to add a crafted, engraved flavor. Its proportions and dense color suggest an emphasis on display readability and strong brand voice rather than quiet neutrality.
The design favors clarity and impact over openness: bowls and apertures are relatively tight, and the heavy weight creates a dense typographic color in paragraphs. The wedge serifs are consistent across forms, helping maintain a cohesive, uniform silhouette in both caps and lowercase.
