A compact, heavy serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that give stems a subtly sculpted, carved feel. The letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned, with broadly filled counters and a strong, steady rhythm that reads as dense and poster-ready. Serifs are not slabby; instead they taper and flare, creating sharp, triangular finishing strokes on characters like T, E, and the numerals. Curves are full but controlled, and joins are clean, producing a crisp, blocky silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, mastheads, poster typography, book covers, and bold brand marks that need a compact, high-impact serif. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers where a dense typographic color and strong terminals help anchor the layout.
The overall tone is forceful and authoritative, with a classic, headline-driven energy. Its flared terminals add a traditional, slightly vintage personality—suggesting print-era typography and bold editorial voice rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, pairing heavy strokes with flared, wedge-like endings to evoke a sturdy, editorial tradition. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
The uppercase set feels especially commanding and uniform, while the lowercase maintains the same dense color, helping mixed-case lines stay visually weighty. Numerals match the alphabet’s stout, chiseled character, supporting strong display work where impact and presence are the priority.
