A compact serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic influence with tapered joins and modest contrast, producing a strong vertical rhythm and tight, columnar proportions. Curves are firm and slightly pinched in places (notably in bowls and hooks), while uppercase forms feel tall and stately; lowercase counters stay relatively small, reinforcing a dense, ink-trap-adjacent texture at text sizes. Numerals follow the same sturdy, tapered logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters with consistent weight and spacing.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and display settings where its flared terminals and compact proportions can add character without sacrificing clarity. It can also serve as an editorial serif for pull quotes, section openers, book jackets, and brand wordmarks that want a traditional yet energetic feel.
The overall tone is assertive and old-world, evoking traditional print craft and editorial gravitas. Its sharp flares and compact density add a slightly theatrical, poster-like edge while remaining grounded and conventional enough for serious messaging.
The font appears designed to blend classical serif structure with flared, calligraphy-driven finishing, creating a robust display voice that recalls vintage printing while maintaining disciplined proportions and consistent rhythm.
The design’s widening terminals and crisp wedges create distinctive word shapes and a strong silhouette, especially in capitals and round letters. Tight internal spaces suggest it will read best with comfortable tracking and generous leading when set in paragraphs.
