A compact, heavy serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared stroke endings and a sculpted, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Stems broaden subtly into terminals, creating strong, triangular serifs and beak-like hooks on letters such as C, E, F, and S, while bowls stay rounded and full. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with a generous x-height and short ascenders/descenders, giving text a dense, even texture. Curves and joins are smooth but assertive, with small apertures and inward notches that add crispness without turning mechanical.
Best suited to display and editorial roles where strong presence and a classic serif texture are desired—headlines, pull quotes, titles, posters, book covers, and brand marks. It can work in short text settings, but the dense color and tight counters suggest giving it comfortable size and spacing for paragraph use.
The overall tone reads traditional and bookish, with a confident, slightly old-world voice. Its sharp flares and carved terminals add a crafted, inscriptional character that feels formal and authoritative rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif readability with a more expressive, flared-terminal silhouette, delivering a classic voice with extra bite and carved detail for emphasis and character in titles and branding.
In the sample text, the heavy color and tight interior spaces create strong emphasis and a dark typographic “block,” especially in dense paragraphs. Numerals are robust and high-impact, matching the letterforms with similarly flared details and rounded counters.
