A dark, compact serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like finishing that makes the stems feel carved rather than bracketed. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with a relatively small footprint, strong vertical emphasis, and sturdy, even stroke weight that reads confidently at display sizes. Serifs and stroke endings come to pointed, triangular cues—especially visible on C, S, and lowercases like a, c, and s—creating a crisp silhouette. Counters are moderately open and the curves are controlled and slightly tense, while capitals carry a monumental, poster-like solidity.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, book-cover titling, and branding where a compact, high-impact serif is needed. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers, especially when you want a classic editorial voice with a sharper, more emphatic finish.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, combining a traditional serif presence with a more dramatic, sharpened edge. It suggests seriousness and heritage, but with enough bite to feel contemporary and attention-grabbing in headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold editorial serif voice in a narrow, space-efficient package, using flared terminals and sharp wedge endings to increase drama and clarity in display settings. Its proportions and dark color aim to hold attention and convey authority while maintaining a recognizably classic serif structure.
The design’s sharp terminals and dense color can create striking word shapes in short bursts, while the tight spacing and compact forms amplify impact. Numerals follow the same flared, sculptural logic and maintain a consistent, weighty texture alongside the letters.
