A compact serif with sturdy verticals and pronounced, wedge-like flared terminals that give strokes a carved, chiseled finish. Serifs are sharply bracketed and often taper into pointed ends, producing a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic texture despite the overall upright stance. Curves are tight and controlled, counters are relatively small, and joins remain clean, creating a dense, high-impact color in text. Numerals and capitals feel strong and traditional, with consistent stroke endings and a cohesive, slightly angular silhouette.
Well suited to headlines, book cover typography, and editorial display where a strong, traditional voice is desired. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefits from a formal, heritage-leaning look, and works effectively in posters or pull quotes where the dense texture adds presence.
The tone is classic and authoritative, leaning literary and editorial rather than playful. Its pointed terminals and dense texture add drama and seriousness, suggesting heritage and ceremony while remaining clear and disciplined.
The design appears aimed at combining classical serif conventions with emphatic, flared terminals to increase impact and character. It prioritizes a compact, forceful texture and distinctive stroke endings that hold up well at display sizes while maintaining a traditional reading rhythm.
At larger sizes the flared endings and sharp brackets become a defining decorative detail, while in text the compact spacing and darker color read as assertive and traditional. The overall impression is crisp and intentional, with a consistent emphasis on tapered stroke endings across letters and figures.
