A compact serif with sturdy, vertical proportions and pronounced flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like feet and tapered finishing strokes. The design shows clear stroke modulation with relatively crisp transitions and strongly bracketed joins, giving letters a carved, chiseled presence rather than a purely mechanical finish. Counters are moderately tight, curves are controlled, and the overall rhythm is dense but orderly, producing dark, even text color in display sizes. Numerals and capitals read stately and structured, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish skeleton with robust stems and decisive serifs.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its dense color and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits editorial and literary contexts—such as magazine features, book covers, and heritage-leaning branding—where a formal serif voice is desirable.
The font conveys a confident, institutional tone—serious, traditional, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp finishing details and dense color suggest authority and ceremony, while the classic proportions keep it grounded in familiar editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with added sharpness and energy through flared terminals, prioritizing impact and hierarchy in display settings while retaining a familiar, readable structure.
The strongest visual signature is the flaring at stroke endings, which creates pointed, wedge-shaped serifs and subtly calligraphic edges. In running text at larger sizes, this yields a bold, engraved look with strong word shapes and emphatic punctuation.
