A compact serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, flared stroke endings. Vertical stems read sturdy and dark, while curves and joins taper quickly, creating a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like rather than slabby, with pointed terminals on several letters and a generally tight, economical fit. Round letters are slightly condensed with small apertures, and the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with a sturdy, upright stance.
Best suited to headlines, title treatment, and editorial typography where strong contrast and compact width can create impactful texture. It can also work for pull quotes, magazine spreads, and brand wordmarks that want a classic serif voice with sharper, more sculptural detail.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic edge from the strong contrast and tapered detailing. It feels bookish and editorial, suited to settings where a classic voice is desired but with extra bite and presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif presence with heightened contrast and flared terminals, balancing classic readability cues with a more dramatic, display-leaning sharpness. Its compact proportions suggest an intention to pack emphasis into limited horizontal space while maintaining a refined, editorial finish.
The design’s flared endings and quick tapers give many strokes a carved, inked-on-paper character, which helps it hold definition at display sizes. Numerals are robust and serifed, matching the strong vertical emphasis and compact proportions of the letters.
