A compact, vertically oriented serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at stroke endings rather than finishing in flat slabs. Strokes feel sturdy and mostly even, with only modest modulation, and the overall rhythm is tight and consistent. Uppercase forms are tall with assertive serifs and crisp joins; the lowercase maintains a straightforward book face structure with strong stems, rounded counters, and a clean, stable baseline. Numerals are firm and legible, echoing the same flared finishing and condensed proportions.
Well-suited to headlines and display typography where a strong, traditional voice is desired, and it can also work for editorial pulls, book covers, and formal branding. Its condensed build makes it effective for fitting impactful copy into tighter horizontal spaces while maintaining a classic serif presence.
The tone is classic and commanding, suggesting tradition and credibility without becoming overly delicate. Its wedge-seriffed finishing gives a subtly carved, engraved feel that reads as serious, institutional, and editorial.
Likely intended to deliver a robust, space-efficient serif with a distinctly flared finish—combining the gravitas of traditional letterforms with a slightly carved, emphatic terminal treatment for stronger display impact.
The design leans on verticality and compact spacing for a dense texture in paragraphs, while the flared terminals add character and emphasis in headlines. The overall texture is dark and steady, with clear silhouettes that hold up well in larger sizes.
