A compact serif with heavy, sturdy strokes and modest contrast, built on fairly straight, vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and often slightly flared, with terminals that feel chiseled rather than delicate. Counters are relatively small and the overall color is dark and consistent, producing a firm rhythm across lines. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g with compact apertures, and the numerals follow the same solid, tightly set proportions.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a dense, classic serif voice is desired. It can also support brand marks and packaging that call for a traditional, trustworthy impression, especially when set with generous leading to balance the dark color.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a newspaper-like solidity that reads as confident and no-nonsense. Its dark texture and flared finishing give it a slightly engraved, institutional feel without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with extra firmness and economy of space, using flared, bracketed details to add character while preserving a strong, readable texture.
Spacing appears on the tight side, emphasizing a dense typographic texture. In the sample text, capitals and punctuation hold their weight well, and the overall silhouette stays clean and controlled even at larger sizes.
