A compact, vertical serif with pronounced flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs and softly bracketed joins. Strokes are sturdy and even, with modest modulation and crisp, chiseled endings that give the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Counters are relatively tight, ascenders and capitals read tall, and the overall rhythm is disciplined, producing dense, authoritative word shapes. Numerals follow the same flared, sculpted logic and hold their weight confidently in text.
This face performs best in headlines, subheads, and display typography where its flared serifs and compact proportions can add impact and character. It also suits book covers, editorial titling, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional, authoritative look, especially in short to medium lines of text.
The tone is traditional and declarative, with a subtle gothic-leaning sharpness in the terminals that adds drama without becoming ornate. It feels bookish and ceremonial—suited to contexts that want historic gravitas and strong typographic presence.
The design appears aimed at combining classic serif readability with a more sculpted, flared terminal treatment to increase presence and memorability. Its compact, upright structure suggests an intention for strong, space-efficient setting while maintaining a refined, historically rooted voice.
In larger sizes the distinctive flaring and tapered joins become a key visual signature, while in text the compact set and firm stroke endings create a dark, cohesive texture. The lowercase shows sturdy, upright construction with clear differentiation between shapes, reinforcing a formal, editorial voice.
