A compact, tightly set serif with pronounced stroke contrast and distinctive flared terminals that read like wedge serifs. Vertical stems are dense and sturdy, while joins and curves thin sharply, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm across lines. The letterforms lean on straight-sided geometry and pointed apexes, with sharp beak-like details on some diagonals and terminals that give the outlines a chiseled, sculptural feel. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall texture is dark and assertive, holding its shape well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display roles where its sharp contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for editorial design, classic-leaning branding, book covers, and poster typography that needs a strong, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a traditional, institutional tone with a dramatic edge—part classical bookishness, part poster authority. Its sharp flares and high-contrast modulation add ceremony and gravitas, suggesting heritage publishing and formal messaging rather than casual or friendly communication.
The design appears intended to blend a classical serif foundation with more sculpted, flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, high-impact display text face. Its compact proportions and dark typographic color suggest a goal of delivering confident presence and clear hierarchy in titles and prominent settings.
In the sample text, the face maintains a steady, dark color with strong vertical emphasis, and the flared endings create a distinctive sparkle at word edges. Numerals and capitals visually match the same carved, wedge-terminal language, reinforcing a cohesive, monumental impression.
