A compact serif with flared stroke endings and soft bracket-like joins that give the letterforms a carved, wedge-serif feel. Stems stay largely even in thickness, with subtle swelling toward terminals rather than sharp contrast, producing a dense, sturdy color on the page. Counters are relatively tight and the silhouettes feel slightly sculpted, with gently tapered strokes and angled terminals that add rhythm without becoming calligraphic. The numerals match the heavy text weight and maintain the same flared, firmly anchored structure.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short-to-medium text where a compact width and strong weight help maximize impact. It works well for book and magazine titling, packaging and labels, and brand marks that want a traditional, crafted serif voice with clear presence at larger sizes.
The tone is confident and slightly old-world, combining an editorial seriousness with a vintage display edge. Its dark texture and chiseled terminals suggest traditional print and signage while still feeling energetic and attention-forward in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, space-efficient serif that reads as traditional yet distinctive, using flared terminals to add character and a carved impression. It prioritizes strong page color and recognizable shapes for display use while remaining coherent and readable in running lines.
In text settings the font creates a strong horizontal cadence and a packed, poster-like presence, especially in mixed case. The flaring at stroke ends is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving a unified, crafted personality.
