A heavy serif design with compact proportions and pronounced flaring at stroke ends, producing wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals rather than flat slabs. Strokes are sturdy and relatively even, with moderate thick–thin modulation that shows most clearly in curved letters and diagonals. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow bowls and tight interior counters (notably in letters like B, P, and R), while curves are drawn with a slightly pinched, sculpted quality. Uppercase forms feel tall and commanding, and the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a two-storey a, compact e, and a firm, upright stance across the set.
Best suited to display settings where strong typographic voice is needed—headlines, magazine mastheads, titles, posters, and bold branding moments. It can also work for short, high-impact subheads or pull quotes, especially where a vintage-leaning, editorial feel is desired.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a classic, slightly old-world flavor. The flared endings and tight apertures give it a poster-like urgency and a sense of institutional gravitas, reading as confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using flared stroke endings and controlled contrast to create a carved, authoritative look. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and dense typographic color for prominent, attention-forward typography.
At text sizes the dense color and narrow counters can make long passages feel intense, while at display sizes the sculpted curves and flared terminals become a defining feature. The figures appear robust and formal, matching the uppercase’s weight and presence.
