A compact, text-forward serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. The forms are relatively narrow with strong vertical emphasis and a steady, moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. Curves are taut and slightly squared off in places, giving counters a crisp, sculpted feel, while serifs appear braced and integrated rather than added-on. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable build with sturdy bowls and clear joins; numerals match the same dense, weighty rhythm.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper headlines, section openers, and other editorial typography where compact width and strong presence are helpful. It also fits book and album covers, posters, and branding or packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with extra edge. In longer passages it will produce a dense, high-impact texture, making it best for display text or carefully spaced body settings.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, with a slightly theatrical sharpness from the flared endings and tight proportions. It reads as traditional and literary, but with enough bite to feel contemporary in headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient serif with flared terminals that increase impact while retaining familiar, readable letter structures. Its proportions and stroke endings suggest a focus on confident display use and strong typographic color in editorial layouts.
Spacing and rhythm feel tight and deliberate, creating a dark, continuous texture in paragraphs. The flaring at terminals adds a subtle calligraphic impression without becoming cursive, and the uppercase carries a monumental, poster-like presence at larger sizes.
