A compact serif with sturdy verticals and subtly modulated strokes. The serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with tapered terminals that keep the silhouette sharp rather than slabby. Counters are relatively small and the joins are tight, giving a dense, ink-on-paper color. Curves on letters like C, G, S, and the numerals show controlled contrast and a slightly calligraphic stress, while the lowercase maintains clear, traditional proportions with a two-storey a and g and a teardrop-like dot on i/j.
Well-suited to headlines and display sizes where its dense texture and flared serifs read as purposeful and classic. It can also serve book covers, magazine titling, and branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice, especially in shorter blocks of text or emphasized typographic moments.
The tone feels traditional and editorial, with a confident, authoritative voice. Its compact rhythm and crisp finishing suggest seriousness and refinement, leaning toward a bookish, old-style sensibility rather than casual or playful expression.
Designed to deliver a compact, high-impact serif presence with classic proportions and slightly flared finishing. The intent appears to balance traditional book-type cues with a bolder, more condensed rhythm for attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals are tall and assertive with strong vertical emphasis, while round letters (O/Q) remain compact and heavy. Numerals are robust and legible, with the 7 showing a sharp angled top and the 9 featuring a pronounced descending tail, reinforcing the font’s lively, engraved-like detailing.
