A heavy serif with a compact, upright build and a pronounced flared/triangular finishing at many stroke terminals. The letterforms show strong vertical emphasis, tight interior counters, and a generally even stroke presence that still exhibits subtle swelling into the ends, producing a carved or inked look. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracket into the stems, and joins create small notches and pinches that read like practical ink-trap shaping at display sizes. Curves are broad and controlled (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls), while horizontals are firm and slightly tapered at their ends, keeping the overall silhouette crisp and weighty.
Best suited to display settings where its dense texture and flared detailing can register: headlines, posters, mastheads, labels, and brand marks that want a traditional but forceful voice. It can also support short passages or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available.
The font conveys a robust, old-world authority with a crafted, slightly rugged edge. Its bold presence and flared terminals suggest tradition and durability, while the clean rhythm keeps it feeling organized and editorial rather than decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, dependable serif voice with distinctive flared terminals and controlled, compact proportions, balancing classic editorial structure with a slightly industrial, inked finish for high-impact typography.
Uppercase forms appear especially blocky and architectural, with relatively narrow apertures and confident stance. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike texture; round letters stay compact, and the digits match the same dense, sturdy color for cohesive headlines and callouts.
