A compact, sturdy serif with flared wedge terminals and subtly carved joins. Strokes are mostly straight-sided with squared counters and softened corners, creating a chiseled, slightly industrial texture. Uppercase forms feel tall and blocky with controlled curves (notably in C, G, and S), while the lowercase keeps a firm, upright posture with short, bracket-like serifs and restrained apertures. Numerals are similarly boxy and weighty, maintaining consistent rhythm and strong silhouette across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its compact, chiseled detailing can be appreciated—such as posters, book covers, and brand marks. It also fits packaging and labels that benefit from a heritage or institutional voice, and it can work for pull quotes or section titles where a strong, upright rhythm is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a display-oriented, engraved flavor that suggests heritage and permanence. Its squared geometry and sharpened terminals add a mildly technical, utilitarian edge, balancing classic serif cues with a more constructed, poster-friendly presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif feel with a constructed, high-impact silhouette—combining wedge-like serifs and squared counters to hold up in display sizes while maintaining a disciplined, editorial structure.
The design emphasizes clear outer shapes and compact internal space, producing a dense typographic color that reads bold without feeling heavy. Curved letters tend to resolve into near-rectangular counters, which gives text a distinctive, structured cadence, especially in mixed-case settings.
