A compact, vertically oriented serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and brisk, bracket-like joins. Strokes carry noticeable but controlled contrast, with strong verticals and sharpened terminals that create a crisp rhythm. The letterforms are relatively condensed with tight internal spacing, and the overall texture is dark and steady, with capitals that feel weighty and formal.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, posters, and mastheads where a classic serif personality and strong presence are desirable. It can also work for branding in heritage-leaning contexts—publishing, cultural institutions, hospitality, or packaging—where a compact, authoritative tone helps content feel curated and established.
This typeface projects a confident, slightly old-world tone with a touch of drama. The flared terminals and emphatic capitals give it a dignified, editorial feel that reads as classic rather than trendy, while still feeling energetic and assertive in display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra emphasis at the stroke endings, creating distinctive word shapes and strong typographic hierarchy. Its condensed proportions and sturdy construction suggest an aim for impact and economy of space, especially where titles or short lines need to feel commanding and refined.
The sample text shows a firm baseline and consistent vertical stress, with flared terminals providing much of the personality. Numerals match the overall weight and compactness, maintaining the same sturdy, high-impact texture as the letters.
