A compact serif with stout verticals and flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden as strokes meet the baseline and cap line. Serifs read as sharply cut and slightly bracketed, giving the letterforms a sculpted, calligraphic edge rather than a purely mechanical feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be restrained, while round letters show a firm, weighty curve with clear thick–thin modeling. Overall rhythm is dense and steady, with a strong baseline presence and crisp joins that keep the texture dark but controlled.
Best suited to display roles where a dense, classic texture is an asset: magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book and film titling, posters, and brand marks that want a traditional but energetic serif voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where strong presence and crisp detailing are desired.
The tone is traditional and emphatic, with a slightly theatrical, print-forward character. Its flared endings and sharp serifs add a historic, bookish flavor that feels authoritative and editorial, lending seriousness and ceremony to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by combining compact proportions with pronounced flaring and sharply cut terminals. The goal seems to be high-impact readability with a distinctive, engraved-meets-calligraphic finish that holds up in prominent sizes.
Capitals are assertive and stately, and the lowercase keeps a compact, high-impact texture that stays cohesive in lines of text. Numerals share the same sturdy construction and flared finishing, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look unified and intentional.
