A compact serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sturdy, slightly tapered stems. The letterforms show crisp, triangular serifs and sharp joins that create a carved, chiseled feel, while counters stay relatively tight to preserve a dense, punchy texture. Curves (C, G, O, S) are smoothly drawn but end in firm, pointed finishings, and diagonals in V/W/X feel weighty and stable. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g with pronounced, bracketed transitions and confident, vertical stress.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and display typography where its dense color and flared endings can read as intentional style. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a traditional, emphatic voice, and for book or magazine covers that benefit from a classic yet forceful serif presence.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a poster-like gravity. Its sculpted terminals and compact rhythm evoke classic editorial headlines and institutional signage, leaning more solemn than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif authority with extra punch through flared terminals and compact proportions, producing strong contrast of silhouette and a carved, headline-forward personality.
In text, the heavy internal rhythm and pointed terminals produce strong word shapes and clear emphasis, especially at larger sizes. The numerals appear robust and old-style influenced in feel, maintaining the same flared finishing and compact footprint for cohesive headline setting.
