A serif typeface with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into sharp, triangular tips, giving strokes a carved and slightly calligraphic finish. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with smooth, rounded bowls and restrained contrast that keeps the texture even in paragraphs. Serifs are short and pointed rather than bracketed, and many joins and ends show a subtle taper that adds movement without turning into a true italic. Uppercase forms feel stately and clean, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with open counters and distinctive, chiseled-looking terminals.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book covers, chapter openers, and other literary or cultural contexts where a classical voice is desired. It can also support packaging and branding that want a crafted, heritage-leaning feel, and it scales effectively for posters and short display lines where the flared terminals become a defining detail.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a subtle medieval or old-world flavor that reads as cultivated rather than ornate. Its pointed flares add drama and a touch of fantasy-book character, while the calm contrast and consistent rhythm keep it composed and readable.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more sculpted, flared terminal language—evoking inscriptional or calligraphic finishing while preserving a steady, text-friendly cadence. It aims to feel distinctive and characterful without relying on high contrast or heavy ornament.
Round letters like C, O, and Q are smoothly drawn and pair well with the angular terminal treatment, creating a balanced mix of softness and bite. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with clear silhouettes and pointed finishing details that help them stand apart in display settings.
