A heavy, compact serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that give stems a widened, chiseled finish. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls, creating a dense, high-impact texture in both caps and lowercase. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and terminals show a slightly sculpted, ink-trap-like nibbing that reinforces the engraved feel. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, with bold, simple forms optimized for display clarity.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where its dense weight and flared terminals can carry personality at a glance. It also fits branding, packaging, and mastheads that want a classic, authoritative voice with a bit of retro drama. For longer text, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where counters and joins have room to breathe.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage editorial flavor reminiscent of classic posters and headline typography. Its strong, carved terminals and compact rhythm project confidence and authority, reading as traditional yet punchy rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining traditional serif structure with expressive, flared terminals to create a bold, vintage-leaning display voice. It prioritizes strong silhouette and headline presence while maintaining familiar serif letter construction for legibility.
The sample text shows a strong horizontal rhythm and a dark typographic color, especially in multi-line settings, where the compact width and heavy weight create a commanding block. The flared endings add character without the rigid geometry of a slab, lending a slightly hand-cut, sign-like warmth to the forms.
