A compact serif with strongly vertical proportions, firm stroke weight, and noticeable flare as strokes broaden into bracketed serif endings. Curves are taut and confident, with rounded joins that keep the heavy weight from feeling harsh, while counters stay relatively tight to preserve a dense, emphatic color on the page. Capitals read formal and sturdy, and the lowercase maintains clear structure with sturdy terminals, compact apertures, and a consistent, slightly compressed rhythm. Numerals are weighty and display-minded, with simple, assertive forms that match the font’s overall density and vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines and short editorial passages where impact and character are priorities, such as posters, book covers, magazine mastheads, and branding wordmarks. It can also serve for pull quotes or section headers where a classic, authoritative serif voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a confident, traditional voice with an editorial gravitas—more classic headline than casual text. Its flared endings and compact spacing lend a slightly historical, old-style energy, while the heavy presence makes it feel declarative and attention-seeking. Overall, the tone is serious and authoritative, with a hint of vintage theatricality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with extra emphasis and a distinctive flared finish, balancing classic proportions with strong, compact impact. It prioritizes authoritative display readability and a cohesive, heritage-leaning texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
The strong weight and tight internal space create a dark typographic color that benefits from generous tracking at larger sizes. Flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs remain consistent across cases, helping maintain cohesion in mixed-case settings and in numerals.
