A compact serif with sturdy, dark color and subtly tapered stems that broaden into flared, wedge-like terminals. The serifs read as bracketed and sculpted rather than flat, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel even in upright forms. Counters are relatively tight and the overall fit is dense, producing strong word shapes and pronounced vertical emphasis. Curves and joins are smooth but weighty, with crisp terminals on letters like C, S, and J, and a robust, rounded bowl structure in B, D, O, and 0.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short text in editorial layouts where a dense, commanding texture is desirable. It can also serve book covers, posters, and brand marks that need a classic serif voice with strong presence and crisp silhouette.
The font projects an authoritative, old-world tone with a bookish, editorial presence. Its dark, compact rhythm feels serious and established, evoking classic publishing and institutional typography rather than casual or playful use.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif impression with extra visual weight and compact proportions, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to add a crafted, engraved character while maintaining a clear, upright structure.
Uppercase forms feel especially monumental, with broad shoulders and confident diagonals in V, W, and Y. The lowercase maintains a traditional serif texture with clear, sturdy stems and compact spacing that keeps lines feeling cohesive at display sizes.
