A compact serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced flared terminals that widen into the serifs. Strokes are solid and even in color, with minimal contrast and a firm, upright stance. The serifs are bracketed and slightly tapered, giving corners a carved, chiseled feel rather than a purely geometric finish. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is condensed, producing a dense, emphatic texture in text and display settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a compact footprint and strong typographic color are desirable. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or book-cover titling, especially when a classic, authoritative serif voice is needed.
The tone reads traditional and authoritative, with a vintage editorial flavor. Its weight and condensed proportions lend it a declarative, headline-forward voice, while the flared endings add a subtle hand-crafted, engraved character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient serif with a carved, flared-terminal character, balancing traditional structure with a more sculptural finish for impactful display typography.
Capitals appear tall and stately with robust stems, and rounded forms stay compact, keeping word shapes tight. The numerals are heavy and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ dense color and strong presence.
