A weighty serif with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Stems taper and subtly flare into bracketed serifs, giving the joins a carved, wedge-like feel rather than crisp slab terminals. Curves are broad and controlled with minimal stroke modulation, while counters stay relatively tight, producing dense, high-impact lettershapes. The lowercase is compact with robust shoulders and a slightly calligraphic touch in terminals, and the numerals match the same solid, upright stance for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and cover typography where a compact, forceful texture helps carry impact. It also fits editorial design and branding that benefits from a traditional, institutional tone, especially when set with ample leading or used for shorter passages.
The overall tone reads assertive and traditional, with a vintage editorial flavor that feels at home in established, serious contexts. Its dense color and flared finishing details add a crafted, old-style gravitas without looking delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, space-efficient typography with a classic serif voice, using flared, tapered endings to add crafted character and visual authority. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent text color for display and headline-driven layouts.
At larger sizes the wedge-like terminals and tapered stems become a defining character detail, while at smaller sizes the compact counters can make text blocks feel dark and authoritative. The sample text shows steady spacing and a consistent, punchy texture that emphasizes headline presence over airy readability.
