A compact serif with thick, firmly vertical stems and subtly flared stroke endings that create a carved, wedge-like serif feel without slabby blocks. The construction is tightly proportioned with narrow letters, a relatively even stroke weight, and crisp joins that keep the silhouette clean at large sizes. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with rounded bowls and a slightly squarish rhythm in curves; the lowercase shows sturdy, straight-sided forms (notably in n/m/u) and a compact, single-storey a with a pronounced terminal. Figures are heavy and straightforward, matching the cap weight and maintaining a consistent, punchy texture.
Best suited for headlines and display settings where its condensed width and heavy weight can deliver strong hierarchy—posters, packaging, book covers, and editorial titling. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or subheads, where the dense color reads as deliberate and authoritative rather than overwhelming.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, pairing old-style gravitas with a condensed, headline-driven intensity. Its flared endings and strong verticals give it a dignified, institutional voice—confident and somewhat formal—while the tight proportions add urgency and impact.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif cues with a compact, high-impact build, using flared endings to add refinement and a chiseled finish. The consistent weight and disciplined geometry suggest a focus on bold communication and clear, confident presence in display typography.
The face produces a dense, dark typographic color, especially in paragraphs, with a steady rhythm driven by vertical strokes and restrained curvature. At display sizes the flaring at terminals becomes a defining detail, adding a subtle engraved quality and helping edges read cleanly.
