A compact, heavy serif with strongly flared terminals and beaked, bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, widening finish. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is dense, with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls that stay controlled rather than airy. Curves show subtle squareness at joins, and the overall texture reads dark and emphatic, especially in all caps. Figures follow the same robust, tapered logic, matching the letterforms’ solid, poster-ready color.
Best suited to headlines, posters, book covers, and branding where a compact serif with strong presence is needed. It also works well for packaging or mastheads that benefit from a traditional, print-centric voice and a dark, commanding typographic texture.
The tone is classic and authoritative with a vintage, print-forward feel. Its dense weight and flared finishing details add a touch of drama and old-style formality, making it feel confident and slightly theatrical without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a condensed build with flared, serifed finishing for a distinctly traditional yet forceful display voice. Its consistent, sturdy construction suggests an emphasis on clear shapes and strong typographic color for attention-grabbing settings.
Uppercase forms present a strong, condensed silhouette suited to impactful headings, while lowercase maintains a steady, workmanlike structure with readable apertures at display sizes. The flared stroke endings create a distinctive shimmer along baselines and caps, adding character in short lines of text.
