A compact serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and pronounced flare at terminals, producing wedge-like, bracketed serif endings rather than crisp hairlines. The proportions are relatively condensed, with tall capitals and a firm vertical stance, while rounds are slightly squared-off by the heavy shaping at joins and terminals. Counters are moderate and the interior spaces stay open in spite of the weight, giving the text a strong, even rhythm. Overall spacing reads tight, and the design leans on sculpted curves and swelling terminals to create character without relying on contrast.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a strong serif voice is needed in limited horizontal space. It can also work for magazine or book-cover typography and branding systems that want a classic, weighty presence, especially when set with comfortable leading.
The tone is assertive and traditional, with a vintage, print-forward presence that feels at home in classic editorial contexts. Its flared endings and compact stance give it a slightly theatrical, headline-driven flavor—serious and declarative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif feel with extra impact through flared terminals and compact proportions, prioritizing visual authority and a distinctive, print-like texture for display typography.
In running sample text, the heavy joins and flared terminals create a distinctive texture that stands out most at display sizes. The numerals match the strong, condensed voice, with bold forms and clear silhouettes suited to prominent settings.
