A compact serif with strong vertical emphasis and flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at the ends of stems. The letterforms are sturdy and weighty, with moderate stroke modulation and a distinctly carved, inscribed feel rather than crisp hairlines. Counters are relatively tight and the curves are controlled, giving the design a dense, poster-ready texture. Serifs are pronounced and slightly bracketed, creating a rhythmic, sculpted silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
This font is best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its flared terminals and compact texture can read clearly—posters, packaging, book covers, and identity work. It can also work for signage and editorial pull quotes where a heritage, engraved flavor is desired, but it will be most effective when given enough size and spacing for the heavy shapes to breathe.
The tone reads as classic and declarative, with a vintage, display-oriented character. Its flared endings and compact proportions evoke engraved signage and 19th‑century poster typography, delivering a confident, slightly theatrical presence. Overall it feels traditional and authoritative rather than minimalist or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, engraved-style serif voice with strong vertical structure and distinctive flared terminals. Its goal is likely to provide a historic, poster-like personality with enough discipline and consistency to set readable display lines.Note: This font is a display serif with pronounced wedge serifs, aiming for impact and a carved, traditional aesthetic.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent, stately cadence with sturdy horizontals and emphatic terminals, while the lowercase keeps the same sculpted logic for a cohesive text color at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same robust, flared treatment, matching the font’s dense rhythm and headline-forward intent.
