A compact serif with sturdy, weighty strokes and subtly tapered terminals that broaden into wedge-like, flared endings. Serifs are bracketed and assertive, giving the letterforms a carved, print-centric feel while keeping counters relatively tight. The uppercase is broad-shouldered and stately, with strong vertical emphasis and moderate contrast between main stems and connecting strokes. Lowercase forms are compact with a low x-height relative to the capitals, contributing to a dense texture and a pronounced rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and titling where its dense weight and pronounced serifs can read clearly—headlines, book jackets, editorial layouts, posters, and identity work that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone. In longer passages, it will produce a strong, dark page color that can be effective for short excerpts, pull quotes, and prominent lead lines.
The overall tone is traditional and serious, with a confident, slightly theatrical presence. Its dense color and emphatic serifs suggest heritage publishing and institutional voice, while the flared terminals add a touch of vintage character and drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added impact: compact proportions, emphatic bracketed serifs, and subtly flared stroke endings that enhance presence and give a distinctive, old-print sensibility.
In the sample text, the heavy stroke weight and tight internal spaces create a dark, commanding typographic color that favors larger sizes. Numerals appear sturdy and old-style in spirit, matching the face’s editorial gravity and compact proportions.
