A compact serif with pronounced, tapering stems that subtly widen into flared endings and bracketed serifs. The stroke contrast stays modest, relying on bold, sculpted forms rather than delicate hairlines. Uppercase shapes are tall and assertive with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and stable, straight-sided verticals, while the lowercase keeps a clear, traditional structure with open counters and a readable, rounded rhythm. Overall spacing feels tight and efficient, producing a dense, text-ready color in lines and paragraphs.
It works especially well for headlines, subheads, and display typography where a classic serif voice is needed with strong impact. The compact fit and sturdy forms also suit editorial applications such as magazine layouts and book jackets, as well as branding that aims for a traditional, established feel.
The font projects a traditional, authoritative tone with a slightly vintage editorial character. Its confident weight and chiseled terminals suggest seriousness and reliability, while the restrained contrast keeps it practical and steady rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with a strong, compact footprint and distinctive flared endings for character. It balances display authority with enough structural clarity to remain legible in longer settings.
The numerals and capitals carry a strong poster-like presence, and the tighter proportions make the type feel economical in width without becoming brittle. The flared stroke endings add a subtle calligraphic energy that shows most clearly at larger sizes and in high-contrast layouts.
