A compact serif with sturdy, slightly condensed proportions and emphatic weight. Stems and terminals subtly flare into sculpted, bracketed serif forms, creating a carved, wedge-like finish rather than flat slabs. Curves are full and rounded, counters are moderately open, and joins show a gently chiseled treatment that reads as deliberate and crafted. Overall rhythm is steady and texty, with strong verticals, short ascenders/descenders, and a confident, print-forward color on the page.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display copy where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It also fits editorial branding, book covers, packaging, and pull quotes, especially when you want a vintage-leaning serif with strong personality and clear word shapes.
The tone feels classic and assertive, with a hint of old-style warmth and a lightly poster-like presence. Its flared endings and rounded forms suggest a traditional, craft-informed sensibility—serious and editorial, but not cold or mechanical.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif credibility with a more sculptural, flared-terminal character, producing a compact display text face that remains readable while adding a distinctive, crafted finish.
Uppercase forms appear particularly monumental and stable, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable texture with distinctive, expressive terminals. Numerals match the heavy text color and share the same sculpted serif logic, supporting cohesive titling and short-form emphasis.
