A compact serif with sturdy verticals and subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that read as braced serifs rather than slabs. The letterforms show a sculpted, calligraphic influence: joins and shoulders are rounded, curves are full, and stroke endings sharpen into pointed corners in places (notably on diagonals and spur-like terminals). Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with strong vertical emphasis and clear, angular articulation on letters like A, W, and V. Numerals and caps match the same carved, high-impact construction, maintaining a consistent dark texture across text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its dark color and wedge-terminal personality can read clearly. It can also support editorial applications such as section heads, pull quotes, and book-cover titling, and works well for branding that wants a classic, authoritative serif with extra bite.
The font conveys a traditional, authoritative tone with a touch of theatrical flair. Its sharp wedges and compact proportions suggest old-world print, lending a formal, headline-forward voice that feels confident and slightly dramatic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif conventions with flared, chiseled terminals to boost impact in display sizes while keeping a compact, efficient footprint. Its consistent dark rhythm and sharp detailing suggest an emphasis on strong presence and historical resonance in modern layouts.
In text, the face creates a pronounced, dark typographic color and a punchy silhouette, with especially prominent wedge terminals on S, C, and G and a distinctive, looping lower-case g. The overall impression is cohesive and intentional: sharp details and flared endings provide character without becoming ornamental.
