A compact serif with sturdy, slightly tapered stems that open into flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharply cut yet subtly bracketed, giving the strokes a chiseled, carved-in feel without becoming a slab. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dark and even, with moderate modulation and firm vertical stress. The lowercase shows a robust, compact build with a two-storey “a,” a tightly drawn “e,” and a pronounced, angled tail on “Q,” while numerals are weighty and straightforward for strong presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title work where a compact serif can deliver impact in limited space. It can also support editorial and book-cover typography when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is formal and institutional, with a classic print sensibility. Its dense, confident rhythm reads as serious and authoritative, suggesting tradition, credibility, and a slightly old-world editorial character.
Likely designed to provide a bold, space-efficient serif with flared terminals that add personality and historical resonance while maintaining clarity. The emphasis appears to be on strong typographic presence and an economical, high-contrast page texture for display-led settings.
The narrow proportions and strong terminals create a punchy silhouette that holds up well in short lines and stacked settings. Spacing appears fairly tight in the sample text, reinforcing a compact, economical texture.
