A compact serif with strong vertical emphasis and a sturdy, dark color on the page. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with firm stems and sharper, lighter joins that keep counters open despite the heavy weight. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving many terminals a tapered, wedge-like finish rather than blunt slabs. Curves are controlled and somewhat condensed, with crisp shoulders and narrow apertures that create a tight, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display settings where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also support editorial titling and brand marks that need a classic serif voice with extra presence, and works well on packaging or labels where compact width helps fit more characters per line.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, with an editorial, slightly old-world bite. Its flared finishing and condensed stance evoke traditional printing and headline typography, lending a serious, confident voice that feels established rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with traditional serif structure and flared finishing for a distinctive, print-forward personality. Its controlled contrast and tight rhythm suggest a focus on legibility at display sizes while maintaining a strong, authoritative tone.
Uppercase forms read especially punchy due to the narrow proportions and strong stem weight, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady baseline discipline. Numerals are similarly robust and compact, matching the font’s dense, headline-friendly color.
