A compact serif with sturdy, slightly tapered strokes that broaden into flared, bracketed terminals, giving the letterforms a subtly calligraphic finish. Curves are full and weighty, with moderate modulation that reads clearly at display sizes, while the overall spacing and proportions stay tight and economical. The lowercase shows rounded bowls and relatively short extenders, and the numerals match the same chunky, tapered logic for a cohesive, unified texture.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short text where its dense color and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can support editorial applications such as magazine headers and pull quotes, and it also works well for branding and packaging that aim for a classic, established tone.
The face conveys a confident, editorial tone with a hint of old-style warmth. Its flared endings and sturdy construction feel traditional rather than delicate, suggesting a classic voice suited to emphatic headlines and heritage-leaning branding.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif familiarity with energetic, flared stroke endings to create a bold, compact display voice. Its consistent terminal treatment and sturdy proportions prioritize presence and legibility in larger sizes while maintaining a distinctly classic character.
The rhythm is driven by strong verticals and pronounced terminal shaping, producing a dense, high-impact color on the page. Round letters like O/C and lowercase bowls appear generously filled, while diagonal forms maintain a solid, grounded stance rather than sharp refinement.
