This serif shows compact, vertically oriented letterforms with sturdy main strokes and subtly modulated contrast. Stems and arms finish in tapered, flared endings that read as bracketed, wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs, giving the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. Curves are tightly drawn with crisp joins and pointed apexes, and the overall rhythm is dense and even, with relatively narrow counters and a firm baseline presence. Numerals match the text weight and share the same chiseled terminals, producing a cohesive, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to headlines and display typography where a compact, commanding serif can carry a page. It should perform effectively for book and magazine titling, poster copy, and brand marks that want a classical, editorial character with strong presence at larger sizes.
The font conveys a traditional, authoritative tone with an editorial seriousness. Its sharp, flared finishing and compact proportions suggest a classic, slightly old-world voice—confident and formal rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, compact serif voice with flared, tapered endings that add sophistication and a carved-in type aesthetic. It balances traditional letterform cues with a tightened, high-impact texture aimed at prominent typographic roles.
In text settings the face produces a dark, consistent color with clear word shapes, aided by strong verticals and pronounced serifs. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, and the overall styling emphasizes solidity and impact over delicacy.
