A compact serif with assertive, bracketed wedge serifs and a strongly inked, print-like color. Strokes show noticeable modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and occasional beak-like finishes, giving counters and joins a slightly chiseled feel. Proportions are condensed with tight sidebearings and a steady baseline rhythm; round forms are somewhat squarish, and the overall texture stays dense and consistent across upper- and lowercase. Numerals match the heavy, traditional tone and carry the same tapered, serifed construction.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where a compact, traditional serif can carry strong emphasis. It can also work on book covers, period-inspired posters, and packaging that benefits from a classic, inked look and decisive letterforms.
The tone reads vintage and editorial, reminiscent of old book typography, newspapers, and poster jobbing where strong presence and tradition are key. It feels serious and authoritative, with a slightly rugged ink-on-paper character that adds warmth and personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added impact: a condensed footprint, strong contrast, and pronounced serif shaping that maintains legibility while projecting a historical, print-driven personality.
In running text, the dense spacing and strong serifs create a dark, punchy paragraph color that works best with comfortable leading. The condensed build makes it efficient in width while keeping a classic serif voice.
