A compact serif with tall, high-waisted proportions and strongly sculpted letterforms. Stems often swell and flare into bracketed, wedge-like endings, creating a carved, calligraphic feel rather than flat slab terminals. Counters are relatively tight and vertical stress is evident across rounds, while joins and shoulders show firm, angular shaping. The overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with crisp interior apertures and pronounced terminals that help forms stay distinct at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and titling where its dense rhythm and flared detailing can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and editorial layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and branding that wants a classic, authoritative voice with a distinctive serif signature.
The tone is assertive and editorial, mixing classic book typography cues with a slightly theatrical, poster-like presence. Its flared terminals and condensed stance suggest tradition and gravitas, but with enough sharpness to feel energetic and headline-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, giving compact text a strong silhouette and display-like impact. It aims for memorability through sculpted strokes and wedge-like serifs while maintaining a coherent, upright reading flow.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental and uniform, while lowercase introduces more texture through varied terminals and compact bowls. Numerals share the same high-contrast, sculpted construction and feel designed to hold their own in titling contexts.
