A compact, dark serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and firmly bracketed serifs. The stroke contrast is moderate, with sturdy verticals and sharpened, wedge-like terminals that give letters a carved, sculptural feel. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, producing strong word shapes and a concentrated texture in lines of text. Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while lowercase maintains a traditional book face skeleton with sturdy joins and decisive endings.
This font excels in editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, and other display applications where a compact, classic serif can deliver impact in limited space. It can also serve for formal branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, evoking printed editorial typography and classic publishing. Its dense color and sharp finishing details create a serious, declarative voice that feels suited to headlines and formal messaging rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif structure with flared, sharpened stroke endings to increase presence and clarity at display sizes. Its proportions prioritize economy and emphasis, aiming for strong, compact word shapes and a confident editorial tone.
In text settings the dark color and narrow proportions create a compact line that can feel punchy, with strong vertical emphasis. The numerals match the overall weight and gravity, reading solid and prominent alongside capitals.
