A compact serif with strong vertical emphasis and sturdy, weighty strokes. Serifs are wedge-like and subtly bracketed, with terminals that flare and taper rather than ending bluntly, giving stems a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be restrained, contributing to a dense texture, while rounds (like O/C) stay controlled and upright. The lowercase shows a notably tall x-height and short extenders, helping small-letter forms hold their presence in heavier settings. Numerals are bold and stable, with simplified shapes and firm footing.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display typography where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It can work well in editorial contexts such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and book-cover typography, and in branding where a classic, assertive serif voice is needed—especially when horizontal space is limited.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, with a traditional, bookish character that reads as confident and slightly ceremonial. Its tight rhythm and dark color feel more editorial and institutional than casual, leaning toward a vintage, print-forward mood.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif presence in a compact width, pairing a tall lowercase with flared, wedge-like detailing to keep the letterforms crisp and expressive at display sizes. The aim appears to be strong impact and legibility through a dark, steady text color and controlled proportions.
The design maintains a consistent, compact rhythm across caps and lowercase, producing a strong horizontal line in text. Flared endings and wedge serifs add personality without becoming ornate, making it feel tailored for impactful, space-efficient typography.
