A compact, heavy serif with pronounced flared stems that broaden into bracketed, wedge-like terminals. Curves are tightly drawn and the counters stay relatively small, giving the face a dense, ink-rich color in text. Serifs read as sharp and slightly sculpted rather than slabby, with pointed joins and occasional teardrop-like terminals in the lowercase. The rhythm is assertive and vertical, with narrow proportions, a moderate x-height, and crisp punctuation and numerals that match the sturdy stem weight.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and short blocks where a dense, high-impact serif is desirable. It can also support editorial design and book-cover typography where a classic, authoritative tone is needed, especially at larger sizes where the flared terminals and sharp joins remain clear.
The overall tone feels traditional and commanding, with a slightly theatrical, old-style print flavor. Its tight spacing and sharp serif detailing create a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to strong statements rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely intended as a compact, high-impact serif that merges traditional letterform cues with flared stroke endings to maximize presence in limited horizontal space. The design emphasizes strong vertical structure and sculpted terminals to deliver a distinctive, print-forward voice.
Uppercase forms show emphatic wedge serifs and strong vertical stress, while the lowercase mixes compact bowls with distinctive terminal shaping that adds character at display sizes. Numerals are heavy and prominent, contributing to a bold, poster-like texture when set large.
