A condensed display serif with pronounced contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that expand into the serifs. The strokes show a distinctly calligraphic modulation, with sharp joins and pointed apexes (notably in A, V, W, and Y) and tightly drawn counters that keep the texture dense. Curves (C, G, O) are compact and controlled, while verticals carry most of the visual weight, producing a strong, dark rhythm in lines of text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, flared logic, with a traditional, sturdy presence and minimal extraneous ornament.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium editorial settings where a dense, commanding texture is desirable—magazine titles, book covers, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a classic yet forceful serif voice. It can also serve as a strong accent font in layouts that need typographic hierarchy and punch without resorting to overt ornament.
The overall tone is bold and emphatic, with a classic, editorial seriousness. Its flared, chiseled finishing and tight proportions evoke traditional print typography and convey authority, drama, and a slightly theatrical formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with added energy through flared, wedge-like endings and strong stroke modulation, balancing classical letterforms with a condensed, high-impact silhouette for display-led typography.
In the sample text the face builds a compact, high-ink texture that reads as intentionally condensed, with clear punctuation and a distinctive ampersand that matches the sharp, serifed style. The lowercase shows a traditional book-ish skeleton with crisp terminals and a consistent, slightly carved look that reinforces the headline-oriented personality.
