A compact serif with flared, tapering terminals that broaden into wedge-like ends, giving the strokes a subtly calligraphic pull without becoming script-like. The design maintains moderate contrast and a steady vertical axis, with narrow proportions and a tight overall rhythm. Serifs are softly bracketed and often resolve into pointed or teardrop-like tips, while curves are gently drawn and slightly pinched at joins. Uppercase forms feel stately and condensed; lowercase shows a relatively upright structure with rounded bowls and a crisp, narrow footprint, producing dense but orderly text color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display use where the flared terminals can be appreciated, such as editorial layouts, book and magazine covers, posters, and heritage-leaning branding. It can also work for short text passages when a denser, more formal typographic color is desired.
The font reads as traditional and bookish, with a slightly theatrical, old-style flavor created by its flared terminals and narrow stance. It conveys seriousness and refinement, leaning toward vintage editorial and classical signage rather than modern minimalism. The tapered details add a touch of drama and craft, suggesting heritage and formality.
Likely designed to blend classical serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, compact display face. The goal appears to be an authoritative, traditional voice with added character from tapered terminals, enabling dramatic titles and refined editorial typography.
In the sample text, the flaring at stroke ends is especially noticeable on verticals and diagonals, creating a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals keep the same tapered language, helping headlines feel cohesive; in longer lines the compact spacing and narrow widths build a darker, more authoritative texture.
