A sculpted serif with sharp, triangular terminals and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems are weighty and upright, while many curves show a distinctive counter-slant that creates a subtle “reverse-lean” tension. Serifs feel wedge-like and often flared rather than softly bracketed, giving edges a crisp, chiseled finish. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with compact joins and a lively rhythm that becomes more pronounced in mixed-case and numerals.
Best suited for large sizes where the pointed terminals and pronounced contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but the strong personality and sharp details may be less comfortable for extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is high-drama and editorial, balancing classical serif formality with an unconventional, slightly mischievous twist. The reverse-leaning stress and pointed finishing strokes add a sense of motion and attitude, making the face feel fashion-forward and display-oriented rather than purely bookish.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through a more angular, carved construction and a reverse-stress dynamic. The goal seems to be a distinctive display face that signals sophistication while remaining recognizably unconventional and attention-grabbing.
Uppercase forms read confidently with broad silhouettes, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in letters like a, g, and k) that emphasize character. Numerals are bold and stylized, with sharp entry/exit strokes that match the wedge-terminal motif and help the figures stand out in headlines.
