A very heavy serif with strongly bracketed serifs, compact interior counters, and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads clearly even at display sizes. The letterforms feel sturdy and sculpted: verticals are weighty, curves are full, and joins are softened with subtle bracketing that keeps the shapes cohesive rather than slabby. Terminals often finish in rounded or ball-like forms (notably in several lowercase letters), lending a slightly ornamental, old-style flavor within an otherwise straightforward construction. Proportions are relatively tall through the lowercase, with short extenders and dense rhythm that emphasizes dark mass on the page.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short blocks of text where a dense, commanding texture is desirable. It can work well for editorial branding, cover lines, packaging, and signage that benefits from a classic serif voice with extra weight.
The tone is confident and traditional, suggesting editorial seriousness with a hint of vintage character. Its heavy color and emphatic serifs create an authoritative voice, while the rounded terminals keep it from feeling overly severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated emphasis—pairing traditional bracketing and contrast with a heavier, more attention-forward build for display and strong typographic hierarchy.
The numerals are bold and compact, with strong silhouettes suited to attention-grabbing settings. Spacing appears fairly tight in text, producing a rich, continuous texture; the strongest impression is a deliberate, high-ink presence optimized for impact.
