A compact serif with pronounced wedge-like, flaring terminals that broaden at stroke ends rather than forming heavy slabs. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, with sharp, slightly calligraphic entry/exit cuts and a firm, vertical stance. The capitals are statuesque and tightly set, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with sturdy stems and modest bowls; details like the pointed joins and tapered feet give the forms a carved, chiseled feel. Numerals follow the same flared logic, reading clearly with solid, traditional proportions.
It works well for editorial design and book typography where a classical serif voice is desired, and it can also serve as a distinctive display face for headlines, posters, and branding. The compact proportions help fit more characters per line, while the flared terminals provide enough personality for titles and pull quotes.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a slightly gothic, inscriptional edge that feels suited to heritage contexts. Its sharp terminals and compact width add a touch of drama without becoming ornamental or overly mannered.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif construction with flared, wedge-like finishing to create a distinctive, slightly inscriptional texture. It balances readability with character, aiming for a historical or literary feel that still holds up in continuous text.
The texture in paragraphs appears dense and deliberate, with strong vertical emphasis and distinctive terminal shapes that become more apparent at larger sizes. The crisp punctuation and sturdy figures reinforce a print-oriented, editorial impression.
