A sturdy serif with pronounced flared terminals and bracketed serifs that give the strokes a carved, widening finish. The forms are compact and vertically emphatic, with tight counters and a strong, even rhythm across the alphabet. Curves show gentle modulation and tapering into terminals, while joins and shoulders stay firm and slightly sculpted, producing a confident texture in words. Numerals and capitals read as weighty and stable, with the same flared, chiseled finishing carried consistently through the set.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other display applications where a compact, high-impact serif can carry a page. It can work well for editorial titles, book covers, packaging, and brand marks that want a classic, forceful tone and a distinctly flared finish.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, evoking classic publishing and engraved or wood-type influences. Its dark, emphatic color and compact proportions feel serious and authoritative, with a subtle vintage warmth rather than a sleek modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with visibly flared stroke endings for a sculpted, engraved presence. It prioritizes compactness and weight to achieve strong headline performance and a recognizable, heritage-leaning texture.
In longer lines the dense letterfit creates a strong typographic “voice,” favoring emphasis and presence over airy openness. The flaring at terminals becomes a key identifying feature at display sizes, reinforcing a crafted, slightly historical character.
