A compact serif with pronounced flared terminals and sharp, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a chiseled, tapering finish. The overall texture is dark and emphatic, with strong vertical stress and crisp junctions that create pointed notches and cut-ins at joins. Counters are relatively tight and the forms feel slightly calligraphic in their swelling-and-tapering behavior, especially in diagonals and curved strokes. Uppercase proportions read condensed and upright, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with sturdy stems and distinct, angular detailing.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book covers, and branding where its sharp flares and dense color can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial callouts or packaging copy when set with comfortable spacing to keep the pointed details from visually clumping.
The letterforms convey a dramatic, old-world tone with a hint of gothic theatricality. Its sharp flares and emphatic rhythm feel ceremonial and story-driven, suggesting headlines that want to sound authoritative, mysterious, or folkloric rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with expressive, flared endings, creating a bold display face that reads traditional at a glance but distinctive up close. It prioritizes strong presence and characterful word shapes over quiet, continuous text neutrality.
The design’s personality is carried by consistent terminal treatment: many strokes end in triangular, spur-like flares that create a lively, spiky silhouette at text edges. Numerals and capitals maintain the same engraved, tapering logic, producing a punchy display texture that benefits from generous tracking at larger sizes.
