A compact, display-leaning serif with sturdy verticals and distinctly flared stroke endings that read as soft, wedge-like serifs. Stems often widen into terminals, giving an incised, chiseled impression without sharp hairlines. Curves are slightly squarish and tightly drawn, with relatively narrow counters and a firm, even rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and authoritative, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and condensed proportions; details like the hooked forms on letters such as f, j, and y emphasize the font’s sculpted, tapered construction. Numerals follow the same robust, flared logic, yielding strong presence in headings and short lines.
Well suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, magazine or newspaper-style mastheads, and book-cover titling where a classic yet characterful serif is desired. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from an old-world, engraved tone, especially when set with a bit of added letterspacing for clarity.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, evoking wood-type posters, editorial mastheads, and historical or fantasy-leaning titling. Its compact width and emphatic terminals create a confident, slightly dramatic voice that can read as both classic and quirky depending on context.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif authority with a distinctive flared-terminal signature, prioritizing bold, memorable letterforms for titling and identity work. Its condensed proportions and sculpted terminals suggest a focus on strong impact, period flavor, and recognizable texture in short text settings.
The sample text shows the design holding together best at larger sizes, where the tapered terminals and narrow internal spaces remain clear. The silhouette-driven construction gives strong word shapes, but the dense counters suggest extra care with tracking in smaller settings or long passages.
