A compact, heavy serif with pronounced flared terminals that widen at stroke ends, creating wedge-like serifs and a sculpted, engraved impression. Strokes stay fairly even through curves and stems, with only subtle modulation, and the overall build is sturdy and dark. Capitals are tall and compact with tight interior counters, while lowercase forms are similarly condensed with firm vertical stress and crisp joins. Numerals and punctuation keep the same dense color and sharp, chiseled finishing at terminals.
Best suited for headlines, display copy, and editorial titling where a compact width and strong weight help pack information into limited space. It can also work for logos, packaging, and book covers that need a traditional yet distinctive serif voice. For long-form body text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes or with generous leading due to its dense color.
The font conveys a classic, institutional tone with a slightly theatrical edge, balancing old-style gravitas with poster-like impact. Its dense texture and flared finishing suggest traditional print aesthetics—confident, formal, and somewhat vintage.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient serif with classic roots, using flared terminals to add character and punch while maintaining a controlled, legible structure.
In text, the tight set and strong blackness produce a commanding rhythm, especially in mixed-case headlines. The flared endings and tapered joins add personality without relying on high contrast, and the overall silhouette reads cleanly at larger sizes where the terminal shaping can be appreciated.
