A compact, heavy serif with pronounced flared/wedge terminals that broaden at stroke endings. The strokes are robust with clear, sculpted transitions and crisp corners, producing strong black shapes and firm vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward the closed side, giving letters a dense rhythm; curves are smooth but controlled rather than soft. Numerals match the letterforms with weighty, stable silhouettes and similarly flared finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks where strong typographic color and a classic serif voice are desired. It can work well for editorial design, book and magazine titling, packaging, and brand marks that need a traditional, high-impact presence.
The overall tone is traditional and commanding, with a confident, slightly old-style gravity. Its dense color and sharpened terminals feel institutional and editorial, projecting seriousness and permanence while still reading cleanly at display sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif authority in a compact, high-impact silhouette, using flared terminals to add character and sturdiness. It prioritizes visual presence and a carved, print-forward texture over airy openness, making it especially effective for display-led typography.
The design relies on clear wedge-like serifs and stroke flaring rather than hairline delicacy, creating a carved, print-like presence. Spacing in the samples reads compact and energetic, with a strong baseline and consistent vertical thrust that helps headlines feel tight and emphatic.
