A flared-serif display serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and gently tapered strokes that thicken toward the ends. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and a steady, upright stance, while contrast stays moderate and smooth rather than razor-sharp. Serifs often read as bracketless flares, creating pointed, chiseled edges on horizontals and diagonals; curves transition into terminals with a carved, calligraphic feel. Lowercase forms show a high x-height and rounded bowls, with distinctive wedge terminals on letters like a, c, e, s, and t, contributing to a rhythmic, ornamental texture in text.
Best suited for display applications such as book covers, chapter heads, editorial headlines, posters, and identity wordmarks where the sculpted flares can read clearly. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, but its distinctive terminals will be most legible and intentional at moderate-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a classical, old-world tone—ceremonial and literary—without feeling delicate. Its flared endings and carved silhouettes suggest tradition and authority, while the wide stance gives it a confident, declarative presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms through flared, chiseled terminals, balancing readability with a distinctive, ornamental finish. Its wide proportions and emphatic endings aim to deliver an authoritative, refined voice for headline-driven typography.
In running text the pronounced terminals create a strong horizontal sparkle and a slightly decorative cadence, especially at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same flared, wedge-driven finishing, keeping the overall voice consistent across the set.
