A compact, high-contrast serif with distinctly tapered, flaring terminals that give the strokes a chiseled, sculptural feel. Vertical stems are sturdy and straight, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tight apertures in several letters. Serifs read as wedge-like and gently bracketed rather than rectangular, with stroke endings that widen and then cut cleanly, producing a crisp silhouette. The lowercase is fairly compact with a moderate x-height; details like the two-storey a and g, narrow r, and sharply finished t reinforce a traditional text-seriffed structure while maintaining strong display presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, book covers, and other short-to-medium settings where the strong contrast and flared terminals can read as intentional character. It can also work for pull quotes and section heads, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, with a classic, bookish voice and a touch of theatrical contrast. Its flared endings and sharp stroke cuts add drama and a slightly ceremonial feel, suggesting refinement and seriousness rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with expressive, flared stroke endings, creating a letterform that feels both classical and visually assertive. It aims for a dense, high-impact texture that communicates seriousness and craft in display-led typography.
Spacing appears on the tighter side in the samples, which amplifies the dark color and makes the face feel more compact and weighty. Numerals follow the same flared, high-contrast logic, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) look energetic due to the strong tapering and pointed joins.
