A compact, heavy serif with pronounced flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that create a chiseled, ink-trap-like silhouette. Strokes are largely uniform in weight at text sizes, but the ends swell and taper into pointed wedges, giving counters and joins a crisp, sculpted look. Proportions are tight and upright, with a tall lowercase that keeps words dense and punchy; curves are firm and slightly squared, and diagonal joins (as in V/W/Y) read as sharply cut rather than calligraphic.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and bold editorial titling where its dense texture and flared terminals can read as intentional character. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a vintage, headline-driven energy. Its flared details and compact rhythm evoke classic print display work—assertive, slightly theatrical, and well-suited to statements that need visual authority.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint, combining sturdy serif structure with flared, wedge-like endings for a carved, print-forward finish. Its tall lowercase and tight spacing suggest an intention to keep text blocks impactful and economical while retaining a traditional serif identity.
The design maintains a consistent vertical rhythm across caps and lowercase, and the numerals share the same blocky, wedge-ended construction for a unified color on the line. In running text, the tight apertures and sturdy forms produce a dark, poster-like texture that favors impact over delicacy.
