A decorative serif with narrow proportions, crisp triangular apexes, and strongly tapered strokes that swell into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and often flared, giving many letters a carved, chiseled feel rather than flat, bookish slabs. Curves are slightly calligraphic and high-shouldered, with distinctive asymmetric details in letters like a, g, and S; counters stay fairly open despite the narrow set. The rhythm is lively and uneven in a deliberate way, with noticeable variation in stroke endings and a slightly eccentric silhouette across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short-to-medium display text where the sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, editorial section headers, posters, and brand marks aiming for a traditional-but-distinctive serif presence. For dense body copy, its busy stroke endings and narrow set will create a strong texture, so larger sizes or generous leading are preferable.
The overall tone reads as classic and literary with a theatrical edge—suggestive of old-style display typography, book titling, and period-inspired design. Its sharp, tapered finishes add drama and a faintly gothic or storybook flavor without becoming blackletter.
The design appears intended to provide a recognizable, characterful serif alternative to conventional text faces—combining traditional letter skeletons with sharpened, tapered finishing to produce a dramatic, ornamental voice for display settings.
In longer text the distinctive terminals and tight proportions create strong texture, with particular emphasis on verticals and pointed joins. Numerals follow the same tapered, decorative logic, helping the font keep a cohesive voice in headings that mix letters and numbers.
