A compact, strongly structured serif with pronounced flaring into the terminals and bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, sculptural finish. Vertical stems dominate, with moderately modulated thick–thin contrast and crisp joins that keep counters tight and rhythmic. Capitals are sturdy and relatively condensed, while lowercase forms show a tall x-height with compact apertures; the overall spacing reads firm and economical. Numerals are weighty and traditional in feel, matching the text color and dense texture of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a dense, emphatic serif texture is desirable. It can also support short-to-medium editorial passages—such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book-cover copy—where a traditional, authoritative voice is needed.
The tone is serious and authoritative, with an old-style editorial confidence that reads as formal and slightly dramatic. Its flared endings add a touch of historic gravitas, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and print heritage rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra emphasis and a compact footprint, using flared terminals to enhance presence and add a historic, engraved-like finish. It prioritizes strong text color and confident silhouettes for editorial and display settings.
The face produces a dark, even typographic color and a decisive rhythm in running text. Several forms favor sharp, vertical silhouettes and restrained curvature, giving headings a poster-like solidity without losing a bookish serif character.
