A compact serif with incised, wedge-like terminals that flare out from sturdy stems. The stroke structure is largely even, with subtle tapering at joins and endings that creates a carved, engraved feel rather than sharp bracketed serifs. Counters are relatively tight and the sidebearings are economical, producing a dense rhythm in text. Uppercase forms read strong and slightly squared-off, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with sturdy verticals and controlled curves.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short text passages where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It works well for editorial design, posters, packaging or branding that aims for a classic print sensibility, and book covers that benefit from a sturdy, traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and no-nonsense, with an old-style editorial presence that feels familiar and dependable. The flared, chiseled endings add a hint of heritage and craft, giving the face a slightly rugged, print-era character without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact reading texture with the character of incised lettering—combining sturdy, practical forms with flared terminals to evoke a traditional, print-forward aesthetic.
In the sample text, the dense spacing and compact proportions create a dark, cohesive texture that suits emphatic settings. Numerals share the same incised, wedge-terminal logic, supporting consistent voice in headings and display lines.
