A compact serif design with sturdy verticals and visibly tapered stroke endings that flare into sharp, wedge-like serifs. The drawing balances firm, dark stems with moderated contrast and rounded inner curves, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Uppercase forms are tall and tightly fit, with crisp apexes and decisive terminals; the lowercase shows a relatively modest x-height with generous bowls and clear, open counters. Numerals are weighty and traditional, matching the strong vertical rhythm and the font’s overall punchy color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial display where its dense texture and wedge-like serifs can read as intentional and confident. It can work for short passages in book or magazine contexts when set with comfortable leading, and it also fits branding that wants a classic, authoritative voice with a slightly dramatic edge.
The tone is assertive and traditional, combining a bookish, literary feel with headline-level drama. Its sharp serifs and compressed stance convey seriousness and authority, while the flared terminals add a slightly ornamental, engraved character.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast serif voice with a distinctive flared-terminal signature—aiming for strong presence in print-like settings while preserving recognizable, traditional letterforms.
In text, the tight spacing and dark overall color create a strong, compact rhythm that reads best when given adequate size and leading. The flared terminals and pointed joins are prominent visual signatures, especially in diagonals and at stroke endings.
