A sturdy serif with compact proportions and a dark, even color. Strokes are broadly uniform with subtle modulation, and terminals widen into flared, bracketed endings that read as serifed but not slabby. The letterforms are tightly set with relatively narrow widths, firm vertical stress, and small-to-moderate counters that keep the texture dense. Curves are full and controlled, while joins and corners show crisp shaping that hints at ink-trap-like notches in a few places, helping maintain clarity at heavier sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a dense, confident serif texture is desirable. Its compact proportions and strong silhouette also fit branding, packaging, and poster work that needs a traditional yet punchy typographic voice.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, with a slightly collegiate, old-style gravitas. It feels formal without being delicate, projecting reliability and authority in a compact, businesslike voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with added solidity and compactness, using flared, bracketed endings to keep the forms lively while maintaining an even, high-impact typographic color.
The rhythm is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a uniform typographic color that holds together well in blocks of text. Numerals share the same robust, serifed construction, matching the face’s compact stance and headline-ready presence.
