This typeface is a sturdy serif with pronounced flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals. Strokes are thick and confidently drawn, with a clear but not extreme contrast between thick and thin parts. Curves are full and rounded, while many joins and ends sharpen into small spurs, creating a sculpted, slightly angular texture. The capitals feel stately and compact with strong vertical emphasis, and the lowercase maintains an even x-height with lively, tapered finishing strokes that add movement without becoming ornate.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, posters, and titling where the flared endings and sharp spurs can be appreciated. The strong presence also suits book covers, editorial openers, and brand marks that need a traditional foundation with a more dramatic, characterful edge.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing classical serif familiarity with a hint of gothic sharpness. Its flared terminals and crisp spurs give it an old-world, storybook energy that feels formal but expressive, suitable for work that wants gravitas and a distinctive voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through flared terminals and sharpened details, aiming for high impact and memorable letterforms. It prioritizes distinctive texture and silhouette, making it well suited for expressive display typography while still reading as a familiar serif in extended samples.
The figures and letters share consistent tapering and pointed finishing details, which creates a rhythmic sparkle in text. In the sample paragraphs, the texture remains dense and impactful, with distinctive silhouettes on letters like Q, W, and the lowercase a and g that help the font stand out in display and short reads.
