A compact, sturdy serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems. The letters show a steady, vertical build with a tight overall set and slightly condensed proportions, producing a dense rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively small, and joins feel firmly anchored, giving the face a carved, sculptural look. Numerals and capitals carry the same weighty structure, with clear, sharp terminals and confident stroke endings.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial titling where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also serve for book-cover typography and brand marks that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice, especially when set with generous tracking or ample leading.
The font projects a traditional, no-nonsense tone—confident and editorial, with a distinctly bookish seriousness. Its flared finishing and compact stance lend a slightly monumental, engraved character that reads as established and authoritative rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added assertiveness through flared stroke endings and compact proportions. It prioritizes strong typographic color and a sculpted, engraved impression for attention-grabbing text and refined display settings.
In the sample text, the dense color and compact widths create strong line presence, especially in capitals and mixed-case settings. The flared stroke endings are consistently applied across rounds and diagonals, which helps maintain a unified texture at larger text sizes and in display use.
