A compact serif with flared terminals and bracketed serifs that broaden smoothly from the stems, giving the letterforms a carved, sculptural feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp joins and a slightly top-heavy distribution, especially in capitals, producing a firm, vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the overall proportions are condensed, while curves (C, G, S) keep controlled, squared-off tension rather than soft roundness. The lowercase maintains a steady texture with sturdy stems, compact bowls, and a clear two-storey a and g, supported by confident, weighty numerals.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine mastheads, book-cover titling, posters, and brand wordmarks where a bold, authoritative texture is desirable. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, section openers) but will be most comfortable at larger sizes where its tight counters and condensed rhythm can breathe.
The tone is formal and assured, with a classic editorial presence that reads as serious and established. Its flared endings add a subtle vintage and engraved flavor, lending dignity and a touch of theatricality without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added punch through flared terminals and compact proportions, creating a strong, engraved-like presence for impactful typography.
In the sample text, the dense set width and strong verticals create a dark, even color that favors headline sizes. The design’s flared stroke endings and sharp interior apertures help preserve character differentiation, though the compact spacing and tight counters will feel more imposing than airy.
