A compact serif with sturdy verticals that broaden into crisp, flared wedge terminals. Strokes stay largely even in weight, producing a dense color and a stable rhythm, while tapered joins and sharpened interior cuts add a carved, inscribed feel. The capitals are tall and assertive with pronounced top and bottom wedges, and the lowercase maintains a traditional book-text structure with moderate x-height, compact counters, and bracket-like transitions that read as sculpted rather than geometric. Numerals match the heavy, tapered logic and hold their own at display sizes.
This font performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its flared terminals and dense texture can be appreciated. It can also support book covers, cultural posters, and branding systems that want a traditional serif voice with extra bite and presence.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic, engraved character that evokes old-style print and institutional typography. Its tight proportions and emphatic terminals give it a confident, declarative voice suited to statements and headings rather than casual copy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif foundation with a carved, flared terminal treatment to increase impact in display typography. It balances familiar proportions with sculpted endings to create a distinctive, high-presence reading experience in larger sizes.
The strong wedge finishing and narrowed counters create a dark, poster-like texture, so spacing and line length will noticeably influence readability. In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent, commanding presence, with the flared terminals providing distinctive sparkle in large sizes.
