A compact serif with strong contrast between thick verticals and hairline connections, built around crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. The forms are upright and fairly condensed, with a steady vertical rhythm and confident, sharply cut terminals. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively small, and the lowercase maintains a moderate, conventional x-height that reads clearly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a weighty, sculpted presence with pointed details and a slightly engraved, chiseled finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where its contrast and sharpened serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work well for book covers, poster titling, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, authoritative voice with a distinctive flared finish.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and tradition with a dramatic, high-contrast sparkle. Its sharp, flared details add a refined, slightly theatrical edge that feels suited to premium, serious messaging rather than casual or utilitarian text.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif impression with added bite and definition through flared terminals and sharp wedge serifs, creating a compact, attention-grabbing texture for display and editorial settings.
The design’s narrow proportions and tight internal spaces create a dense color on the page, while the hairlines and pointed serifs provide crisp highlights. The mix of sturdy stems and delicate joins gives it a stately look that benefits from sufficient size and clean printing or rendering.
