A flared serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and an overall crisp, cut-in-stone feel. Strokes stay relatively even through the main stems but expand into pointed, triangular serifs and tapered ends, creating a chiseled rhythm. Counters are moderately open and the curves (notably in C, O, and e) show subtle squaring and tension rather than pure roundness. The lowercase is compact with short extenders and a sturdy, slightly angular texture; the numerals follow the same wedge-ended logic with clear, upright forms.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where the flared terminals can be appreciated—book covers, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and posters. It can also work for logo wordmarks and packaging that want a traditional, literary voice, while longer passages benefit from generous sizing and spacing to keep the sharp details from feeling busy.
The tone is classical and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as traditional and cultivated. Its sharp flares and restrained detailing give it a slightly archaic, literary character—formal without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, wedge-like endings for a distinctive, engraved texture. It aims for a refined, old-style presence that stands out in headings while maintaining enough restraint to function in continuous text at comfortable sizes.
In text, the pointed terminals add sparkle and a faintly calligraphic edge, while the compact lowercase keeps lines tight and controlled. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same angular terminal treatment, reinforcing a consistent, carved aesthetic.
