A compact, heavy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins that broaden as strokes meet the serifs. The overall construction is upright and firm, with sturdy verticals, relatively modest contrast, and tight interior counters that keep the texture dense. Curves are smooth but controlled, and the ends of strokes often taper or flare rather than finishing bluntly, giving letters a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Numerals and capitals carry the same weighty, condensed presence, producing a dark, even color in text and a strong silhouette in display.
It performs best where a dense, emphatic serif texture is an asset: headlines, poster typography, book and magazine titling, and brand marks that need a traditional but assertive feel. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing, where its strong serifs and compact forms help maintain presence.
The font projects a classic, no-nonsense tone—confident and traditional with a slightly theatrical edge from the flared terminals. It feels suited to established institutions and print-centric design where gravity and impact are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added energy from flared terminals—balancing classical proportions with a bold, condensed footprint for impactful setting. It emphasizes clear, authoritative letterforms and a consistent, dark typographic color for attention-grabbing display and editorial use.
In running text the compact proportions and strong serifs create a pronounced rhythm of vertical strokes, while the flared endings add motion and character without becoming ornate. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent, upright roman voice throughout.
