A compact, display-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that broaden at stroke endings. Strokes show tapered shaping and a gently calligraphic modulation, giving letters a sculpted, wedge-like presence rather than crisp, flat terminals. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, with crisp vertical emphasis and slightly lively curves. The lowercase includes traditional forms (two-storey a and g) and a long, descending y with a sharp, angled tail; numerals are sturdy and sharply serifed for strong alignment in text and titling.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and book-cover typography where the flared terminals and dense texture can be appreciated. It can also work for branding marks and short editorial bursts (pull quotes, section titles) that benefit from a classic, high-impact serif voice.
The tone is classic and attention-grabbing, evoking vintage print, headlines, and old-style editorial typography. Its flared endings and compact rhythm add a dramatic, authoritative feel that reads as traditional yet energetic rather than strictly formal.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif impression with added punch through flared terminals and compact proportions, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a distinctive, print-like texture for display-oriented typography.
The design’s distinctive character comes from the consistent widening into terminals and the slightly carved, wedge-like joins, which creates a strong silhouette at larger sizes. In dense settings the tight counters and heavy color increase impact, while the crisp terminals help preserve letter identity in display text.
