A compact, vertically oriented serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and crisp, chiseled terminals. Strokes feel sturdy and mostly even in weight, with subtle contrast created by swelling at the ends rather than strong thick–thin modulation. Serifs are wedge-like and integrated into the stems, giving letters a carved, poster-like presence. Curves are tight and controlled, counters stay relatively small, and overall spacing is moderately tight, producing a dense, emphatic texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its flared terminals and compact proportions can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or album covers, and branded wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts, especially where a strong, traditional voice is desired.
The font projects a classic, old-world confidence with a theatrical edge. Its sharp flares and condensed rhythm evoke headline typography from print-era posters and editorial display work, balancing formality with a slightly decorative, assertive tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient display serif with a carved, flared-terminal personality, prioritizing impact and character over neutrality. Its consistent sculpted endings unify the alphabet and figures, aiming for a distinctive headline texture and a memorable silhouette.
Distinctive, pointy terminals appear on many letters and numerals, adding a spurred silhouette that reads clearly at display sizes. The figures are similarly compact and stylized, matching the flared serif language for consistent impact across mixed text and numbers.
