A compact serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and visibly flared stroke endings that read like soft wedge serifs. The forms are built from broad verticals with modestly rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals, giving letters a carved, slightly ink-spread silhouette. Counters are relatively tight, curves are full rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is dense but even. Numerals share the same weight and flare behavior, with simple, sturdy shapes suited to display settings.
Best suited for headlines, short paragraphs, and prominent callouts where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It can work well for packaging, labels, signage, and logotype-driven branding that aims for a traditional or heritage look.
The tone feels classic and workmanlike, evoking vintage print and traditional signage. Its heavy presence and flared terminals add a slightly rustic, old-world character while remaining clear and straightforward.
Likely designed to deliver strong display impact with a traditional serif voice, using flared terminals to add warmth and a hand-finished impression without relying on high contrast. The compact proportions and sturdy shapes prioritize presence and legibility in larger sizes.
In text, the dark color and tight interior spaces create strong emphasis and a headline-driven texture. The flare at terminals is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain a cohesive, crafted feel.
