A compact serif with sturdy, slightly condensed proportions and noticeably flared, bracketed terminals that give strokes a subtly chiseled, calligraphic finish. The outlines show moderate contrast with firm verticals and tapered joins, plus sharp, wedge-like serifs and small internal notches that add bite at corners and stroke endings. Counters are relatively tight and the lowercase sits low, producing a dense color and a rhythmic, slightly irregular texture in text. Overall spacing is controlled but not monolinear, allowing wider forms like W and M to open up while keeping the general footprint tight.
Works best for headlines and display typography where the flared serifs and sharp terminals can be appreciated—book covers, editorial titles, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a classic voice. In short passages and pull quotes it creates a dense, emphatic texture, especially when set with generous leading.
The tone reads traditional and bookish, with an old-style seriousness that feels suited to institutions, literature, and heritage contexts. Its flared endings and crisp wedges add a faintly dramatic, engraved character, balancing refinement with a touch of theatricality.
Likely designed to evoke traditional serif authority while adding distinctive, flared stroke endings for a more expressive, carved or penned feel. The compact proportions and strong terminals suggest an aim for impactful display presence without sacrificing familiar serif structure.
Uppercase forms lean on strong wedge serifs and tapered diagonals, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and sturdy stems that maintain legibility at display sizes. Numerals appear robust and straightforward, matching the same flared terminal language for a consistent, authoritative texture.
