A compact, high-presence serif with pronounced flared endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals rather than crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes are sturdy and confident with gentle modulation, producing a clear thick–thin rhythm without feeling delicate. The proportions are narrow with tall vertical emphasis, and the letters sit with a steady, upright posture. Curves are taut and slightly tapered at joins; counters tend to be on the tighter side, giving the text a dense, ink-rich color. Numerals follow the same assertive, flared treatment and feel well-matched to the capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its dense color and flared terminals can project authority. It can work for short-to-medium editorial passages when given sufficient leading and comfortable column width, and it is a strong candidate for book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that want a classical, print-forward voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative with a slightly theatrical, old-style flavor. It reads as confident and formal, evoking print-era signage and editorial typography where strong letterforms and crisp silhouettes are prized. The flared terminals add a crafted, classical character that feels both dignified and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by combining narrow, upright proportions with emphatic flared terminals for impact. The goal seems to be a readable but distinctly display-leaning texture that maintains classical cues while increasing contrast in silhouette and presence on the page.
In paragraph settings the narrow set and heavy color create a compact texture, so line spacing and measure will materially affect comfort. The sharp wedge terminals and tight internal spaces make it particularly striking at larger sizes where the tapering and flare details can be appreciated.
