A compact serif with sturdy, slightly tapered stems that swell into flared, bracketed terminals. Curves are full and tightly controlled, while joins and shoulders stay crisp, giving the letters a dense, high-ink silhouette. The overall rhythm is even and upright, with moderately tight counters and a strong vertical emphasis. Serifs read as wedge-like and integrated rather than slabby, producing a chiseled look across both capitals and lowercase.
Works well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful. It also suits book covers, mastheads, and brand marks that need a classic serif voice with extra weight and bite.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that recalls book typography and institutional print. Its heavy, sculpted shapes lend a confident, slightly dramatic voice without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading of authority and heritage while adding energy through tapered stems and flared endings. The intent appears to be a display-forward text serif that maintains discipline in structure but amplifies impact through dense color and sculpted terminals.
Capitals feel stately and compact, and the numerals follow the same weighty, flared logic for a consistent page color. In text, the strong terminals and tight internal spaces create a dark, cohesive texture that favors larger sizes or generous leading.
