A very heavy, high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and strongly sculpted joins. Stems are broad and dark, with sharp, tapered terminals and occasional ball terminals that add a slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are full and rounded, counters are moderately open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is dense but controlled, giving text a solid, poster-like color. Uppercase forms feel monumental and stable, while lowercase shows more liveliness in letters like a, g, and f through angled stress and pronounced terminal shaping.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, and display settings where its heavy strokes and high contrast can read cleanly and feel intentional. It can also work for magazine/editorial titling, book covers, and packaging where a classic serif voice is needed, while longer text will benefit from generous size and spacing to avoid a too-dark texture.
The font projects a traditional, authoritative tone with a hint of vintage print character. Its bold, stately presence suggests established institutions and classic editorial styling rather than minimal or contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with extra impact—combining classic proportions and bracketed serifs with a darker, more assertive weight for attention-grabbing typography.
Numerals are similarly weighty and expressive, with noticeable thick–thin modulation and distinctive curves that keep them from feeling purely geometric. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same chiseled, high-ink aesthetic, which reads especially strong at larger sizes and in short passages.
