This is a sturdy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and compact, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and a consistent, vertical stress that keeps the texture steady in lines of text. Proportions are relatively narrow and tall, with a high x-height and short extenders that create a dense, efficient rhythm. Terminals and joins are tightly shaped, producing crisp counters and clear silhouettes, while curves stay controlled and slightly squared-off at key transitions.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and editorial settings where a strong, classic serif voice is needed. The high x-height supports readability in short blocks and pull quotes, while the weight and compact structure make it effective for posters, book covers, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional, confident tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a newspaper/editorial seriousness. Its weight and flared finishing give it a confident, somewhat old-world gravitas without becoming ornate. The face reads as direct and no-nonsense, suited to messaging that needs solidity and credibility.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif voice by keeping contrast low and forms compact, while using flared endings to add character and authority. It aims for strong impact and steady text color, balancing readability with a distinctive, carved finishing.
In the sample text, the dense spacing and strong verticals create a dark, emphatic paragraph color, while the flared ends add a subtle decorative edge at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact, and the numerals appear robust and attention-grabbing, reinforcing the font’s headline-forward character.
