A condensed, high-waisted serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. The letterforms show sharp, beak-like terminals on characters such as C, S, and a, with crisp apexes and a firm vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively tight and the internal shapes feel compact, while curves are cleanly controlled rather than soft. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with strong stem presence and distinct, wedge-driven detailing that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where impact and a traditional serif voice are desired—headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, book covers, and packaging. Its condensed build helps fit long words into limited width while maintaining a strong, authoritative presence.
The font conveys a commanding, old-style editorial tone—formal, assertive, and slightly theatrical. Its carved, flared details add a historic, print-forward character that feels suited to traditional institutions while still delivering punch and presence.
The design appears intended to merge a classical serif foundation with flared, wedge-like terminals to increase visual bite in bold, space-efficient settings. The consistent verticality and sculpted terminals suggest a focus on high-impact editorial and branding applications.
In the sample text, the narrow proportions and heavy color create a tight texture that emphasizes headlines and short lines. The figures share the same condensed, chiselled logic as the letters, giving numerals a sturdy, poster-like authority.
