A compact serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and sturdy, slightly condensed proportions. Strokes show controlled contrast, with thick verticals and tapered joins that create crisp triangular serifs and pointed tips. Curves are taut and sculpted, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is vertical and emphatic. In text, the face holds a dense color with assertive capitals and a steady, traditional serif structure.
Well suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a bold, traditional voice is desired—such as newspaper-style mastheads, posters, book covers, and packaging labels. It can also work for pull quotes and titling where tight spacing and strong vertical rhythm help create impact.
The design reads confident and institutional, with a vintage editorial flavor. Its sharp wedges and compact build add drama and urgency, lending a slightly old-world, headline-forward tone rather than a neutral book texture.
The letterforms suggest an intention to blend classic serif conventions with flared, wedge terminals for added punch and a carved, engraved-like presence. The compact proportions and dense texture indicate a focus on display readability and assertive typographic color at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms feel especially commanding due to tall vertical stress and narrow internal space, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike texture. Numerals are heavy and attention-grabbing, matching the font’s dense, poster-ready color.
