A compact, heavy serif with tapered stems that expand into subtly flared, bracketed terminals. The letterforms are tall and tightly set, with sturdy verticals, restrained curves, and a consistent, low-modulation rhythm that keeps the texture even in long lines. Serifs are crisp and slightly wedge-like, and many joins show gentle swelling toward the ends, giving the silhouette a carved, poster-like presence. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the numerals match the overall compact, emphatic build.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where a dense, authoritative texture is an advantage. It can also work for packaging and identity applications that want a traditional serif voice with extra punch, especially when space is limited and a tall, compact fit helps.
The overall tone is classic and emphatic, combining a vintage print flavor with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its dark color and condensed stance feel assertive and slightly theatrical, suited to messaging that needs to look established and deliberate rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed serif with flared finishing that reads as traditional yet impactful. Its proportions and heavy color suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display typography while preserving familiar serif structure for clear word shapes.
Capitals appear particularly tall and stately, creating a strong vertical cadence, while lowercase forms keep a readable, workmanlike structure with sturdy bowls and straightforward apertures. The sample text shows a dense, headline-friendly color that holds together well at larger sizes.
