This typeface is a serif with distinct wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden into sharp triangular endings rather than forming flat slabs. Strokes show moderate contrast with steady, controlled modulation, giving curves a slightly calligraphic, chiseled feel. The capitals are broad and confidently proportioned, with crisp joins and pointed details (notably in diagonals and arm terminals), while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with a straightforward, bookish rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and clear, matching the same flared terminal logic and maintaining strong presence at text sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its flared terminals and wide proportions can provide character and authority. It also fits editorial layouts and book or magazine cover typography that wants a traditional serif voice with a slightly carved, dramatic edge.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, evoking traditional print typography with a slightly engraved or stone-cut edge. It feels formal and editorial, with enough sharpness in the terminals to read as decisive and refined rather than soft or casual.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif readability with a more expressive, flared-terminal finish, creating a strong typographic signature without becoming overly decorative. It aims for a confident, print-forward voice that holds up in prominent sizes and structured layouts.
Terminal treatment is a defining feature across the set: many strokes end in tapered, angular wedges that create a lively sparkle along word shapes. The texture in paragraphs appears bold and emphatic due to the wide proportions and strong serif presence, making the font feel best suited to display-led typography rather than delicate, quiet text.
