A sturdy serif with compact proportions, a relatively low x-height, and assertive, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs. Stems are heavy and confident, with moderate contrast that stays readable at display sizes, and a rhythm shaped by slightly top-heavy horizontals and crisp, cut-in joins. The lowercase shows tight counters and compact bowls, while the capitals maintain broad, stable silhouettes with strongly anchored feet and short, purposeful serifs.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where a dense, classic serif color is desirable. It would work well for editorial layouts, book covers, cultural or academic branding, and print-forward posters where a traditional yet punchy serif voice is needed.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with a slightly old-style, print-forward personality. Its flared endings and dense texture add a vintage, institutional flavor that suggests heritage, publishing, and formal signage.
Designed to deliver a bold, heritage-leaning serif impression with distinctive flared terminals and a compact, emphatic rhythm. The intention appears to balance classic forms with a more sculpted, display-oriented weight and presence.
Figures are weighty and graphic, with rounded forms that keep their presence even in tight spacing. The typeface maintains a consistent, sculpted edge quality throughout, creating a dark, cohesive texture in paragraph-like settings and a commanding look in headlines.
