A compact serif with strong, weighty strokes and a tight horizontal footprint. Stems subtly flare into wedge-like terminals, producing a carved, calligraphic edge rather than square slab endings. Serifs are bracketed and assertive, with crisp triangular shaping that shows clearly on capitals and the numerals. Curves are sturdy and controlled, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm feels dense and steady, emphasizing verticality and solidity.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium reading contexts where a dense, classic texture is desirable—headlines, deck copy, magazine features, and book cover titling. It can also support brand marks and packaging that want a traditional, institutional voice, especially at sizes where the wedge terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an old-style, editorial gravitas. Its pronounced wedge terminals add a slightly dramatic, engraved flavor that reads as formal and established rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice with an engraved, flared-terminal character, balancing classical book-type cues with assertive display presence.
Capital forms feel monumental and tightly set, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy texture with clear differentiation between letters in running text. Numerals match the overall heft and exhibit the same flared terminal logic, reinforcing a cohesive, print-forward personality.
