A tightly set, display-oriented serif with strong vertical emphasis and visibly tapered, flared stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and beak-like in places, with wedgey terminals and pronounced bracketing that creates an incised, carved impression. Contrast is pronounced, with thick stems and fine connecting strokes, and the overall width stays compact, giving the letters a tall, compressed stance. Curves are smoothly modeled but end in crisp points, and joins often swell into subtle triangular transitions rather than blunt slab endings.
This face is well suited to headlines, deck typography, and large editorial pull quotes where its high-contrast modeling and sharp terminals can hold attention. It can also work effectively on packaging and branding applications that want a classic, premium voice with a theatrical edge, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is bold and declarative, mixing classic bookish cues with a more showy, poster-like energy. Its sharp terminals and compact rhythm read as dramatic and slightly vintage, suggesting prestige and intensity rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact serif that channels carved and calligraphic cues into a contemporary display silhouette. By combining flared, wedge-like terminals with tight proportions and strong contrast, it aims to deliver authority and drama in short text settings.
The lowercase includes noticeable calligraphic quirks (such as a single-storey “a” and a looped “g”), adding personality and an old-style flavor. Numerals are heavy and stylized, with curved forms that echo the flared, incised terminals seen throughout, reinforcing its suitability for prominent, short-form settings.
