A compact serif with pronounced flared endings that swell from the stems into wedge-like serifs and beaked terminals. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation, creating a strong vertical rhythm and dark color on the page. Curves are tight and slightly squarish in places, with crisp joins and small ink-trap-like notches suggested in some counters. The overall proportions feel condensed and tall, while the spacing stays relatively snug, reinforcing a dense, poster-ready texture.
Well suited for headlines, mastheads, and short blocks of display text where its dense color and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can work effectively on book covers, editorial feature titles, and packaging that aims for a classic, crafted, slightly theatrical voice. For body copy, it will generally be more comfortable at larger text sizes with generous leading.
The face reads as vintage and literary, with a touch of theatrical flair. Its strong verticals and expressive terminals give it a stately, old-world tone that can feel dramatic and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif with distinctive flared terminals—balancing traditional serif structure with a more expressive, display-leaning finish. It prioritizes strong presence and recognizable letterforms that hold up in bold, attention-centric typography.
In text, the compact width and dense color make it attention-grabbing at larger sizes, while the distinctive flared details can start to crowd at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same assertive, high-impact presence, contributing to a cohesive display personality.
