A sturdy serif with strong verticals and compact joins, showing a pronounced flare into wedge-like, beaked terminals rather than flat slabs. The stroke structure reads mostly even-weight at text sizes, with subtle modulation and tightened interior counters that create a dense, authoritative texture. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, and many letters show crisp triangular notches or cut-ins at joins and terminals that add definition. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a generous x-height and short ascenders/descenders for a compact, efficient rhythm.
This face works best where strong typographic color and a classic serif voice are needed—magazine headlines, newspaper-style display, book covers, and brand marks that want tradition with bite. It can also serve for short blocks of text or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing to avoid a heavy overall tone.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a no-nonsense, institutional feel. Its sharp terminals and dense color give it a confident, headline-forward presence that still feels rooted in bookish, editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, recognizable serif presence that bridges traditional editorial forms with sharper, flared detailing. Its compact proportions and decisive terminals prioritize impact and clarity in display settings while remaining structured enough for supporting text.
Round letters are firmly drawn with controlled curves and relatively small apertures, which increases impact but can darken in dense settings. Numerals appear weighty and stable, with open, straightforward forms suited to display and subhead use.
