A compact, sturdy serif with pronounced flared/bracketed terminals that thicken into wedge-like ends. Stems are firm and mostly even in weight, with crisp joins and a controlled rhythm; curves are taut rather than soft, giving counters a slightly compressed feel. Capitals are tall and assertive, while the lowercase keeps a conventional, readable structure with a moderate x-height and tight apertures. Numerals match the overall verticality, with the “1” featuring a prominent flag and the set maintaining the same condensed, weighty presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and title work where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium voice, and works well for pull quotes or short editorial blurbs where its condensed proportions help fit more text into limited space.
The overall tone is commanding and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and institutional. Its sharp, beaked terminals add a slightly dramatic, vintage edge without tipping into ornament.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra punch: a condensed, dark silhouette paired with flared terminals to preserve clarity and add character. The intent appears to balance classic familiarity with a sharper, more emphatic finish for attention-grabbing typography.
The font’s narrow set and dark color create strong vertical emphasis, and the flared endings help prevent strokes from feeling abrupt at display sizes. In longer lines, the dense texture feels deliberate and emphatic, favoring impactful typographic color over airy openness.
