A condensed serif with prominent flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that give strokes a chiseled, ink-trap-like finish. Vertical stems read sturdy and straight, while joins and terminals expand subtly, creating a sculpted rhythm and a strong top-to-bottom presence. Counters are moderately tight, apertures are controlled, and the overall texture is dark and even in display sizes, with clear differentiation between straight and curved components.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other short-to-medium display settings where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can work well for magazine and newspaper-style editorial design, book covers, cultural posters, and branding that needs a classic but forceful voice.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic, engraved feel that suggests legacy publishing and institutional gravitas. Its condensed proportions and emphatic terminals add urgency and impact without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with flared, wedge-like finishing to maximize presence in tight widths. It emphasizes strong vertical rhythm and decisive terminals to deliver a formal, editorial character that holds up in large text and titling.
Uppercase forms appear especially commanding due to the narrow set width and strong vertical stress, while lowercase maintains a conventional proportion that keeps word shapes stable. Numerals match the same carved, flared finishing, making figures feel weighty and headline-ready.
