A flared serif with pronounced stroke swelling into sharp, triangular terminals and serifs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with broad, open counters and a steady, upright stance, while subtle contrast and tapered joins create an ink-trap-like sparkle at corners. Curves are smooth and slightly flattened at extremes, and diagonals (notably in V, W, Y, and Z) finish in pointed wedges that give the face a carved, sculptural rhythm. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and display-forward, with distinctive, stylized shapes that prioritize character over neutrality.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers, chapter openers, editorial headlines, posters, and identity work where its sculptural terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a formal, literary tone is desired, though its strong stylistic shaping will dominate long-form text.
The overall tone feels classical and ceremonial, with a hint of mythic or storybook drama. Its sharp flares and sculpted terminals evoke inscriptions, engraved titling, and formal literature, projecting authority and tradition while remaining expressive.
The font appears designed to reinterpret classical serif construction with flared, tapered endings for a carved, monumental feel. Its goal seems to be combining legibility with a distinctive, emblematic presence suitable for titles and identity-driven typography.
The design maintains consistent wedge logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive texture in continuous text. Wide sidebearings and open interior spaces help prevent the sharp terminals from feeling cramped, while the distinctive diagonals and spurred details make the alphabet highly recognizable at a glance.
