A compact serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals that act as serifs. Vertical stems dominate the texture, with short bracketed joins and squared-off counters that keep letterforms firm and blocky. Curves are taut rather than flowing, and many characters show slightly pinched apertures and tight internal spaces, producing a dense, emphatic rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same robust, upright construction with clear, stable silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short passages where a dense, classic serif texture adds authority. It can work well in editorial layouts, posters, and branding systems that benefit from a compact, emphatic voice, and it has enough structure for book-cover titling and institutional-style applications.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, evoking old-style printing and institutional signage while staying crisp and controlled. Its compactness and heavy presence read as confident and declarative, suited to messaging that needs weight and seriousness without ornamental flourish.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif impression with extra firmness and punch through compact proportions and flared terminals. It prioritizes a solid typographic color and strong vertical rhythm for impactful display typography and confident text accents.
In text, the font creates a dark, continuous color with strong vertical emphasis and minimal stroke modulation. The flared endings are consistent across the set, giving a cohesive ‘chiseled’ finish that remains legible at display sizes and holds its structure in tighter settings.
