A compact, heavy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends that reads as wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Stems are sturdy and mostly monolinear, with subtle modulation and strong, sculpted terminals that give a carved or chiseled impression. Proportions are tight and vertical, with a relatively large presence in capitals and compact counters that keep the texture dense. The lowercase shows energetic shapes—single-storey a and g, a sharply hooked j, and brisk, angular joins—maintaining a consistent, inscribed rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, posters, and branding where a strong, sculpted serif character is desirable. It can work for short editorial pulls or section titles, especially when you want a compact measure and a dense, high-impact typographic color.
The overall tone feels dramatic and slightly old-world, combining editorial seriousness with a theatrical, poster-ready punch. Its carved terminals and compact stance evoke display typography with a classic, authoritative voice rather than a neutral text tone.
The design appears aimed at a bold, display-forward serif that borrows from inscriptional and flared-serifs traditions, prioritizing distinctive terminals and a compact vertical rhythm to create memorable, high-contrast silhouettes at larger sizes.
Diagonal strokes and joins tend to terminate in sharp, flared points, giving edges a crisp silhouette at larger sizes. Numerals are weighty and stylized, matching the serif language and maintaining a strong headline presence.
