A sturdy serif with compact proportions and a strongly sculpted, flared finishing model. Stems stay relatively even through the main strokes, then broaden into wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs that create a chiseled, poster-ready texture. Curves are full and controlled, with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e, and a generally dark, continuous color in text. The lowercase shows a traditional, two-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders, and fairly firm, straight-sided verticals; numerals are weighty and blocky with the same flared endings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and book-cover typography where its compact width and dark color can carry emphasis. It also works well for editorial branding elements—mastheads, pull quotes, and section titles—especially in high-contrast layouts where the sculpted terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels traditional and declarative, with a slightly old-style, print-era character. Its dense color and sharp terminals give it an authoritative, headline-forward voice that reads as formal and editorial rather than casual or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif for display use while retaining traditional letterforms for familiar reading cues. The flared terminals and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of adding carved, print-like character and solidity without relying on extreme stroke contrast.
The flaring at joins and terminals can read almost like subtle ink-trap shaping at smaller details, adding crispness and preventing forms from looking overly blunt. The rhythm is tight and compact, favoring impact and stability over openness.
