A sculptural serif with pronounced stroke modulation and wedge-like, flaring terminals that make stems feel carved rather than purely bracketed. Curves are full and slightly pinched at joins, with lively tension in bowls and rounded counters. Capitals read as compact and weighty with subtly varied widths, while lowercase forms keep a steady x-height and introduce more playful asymmetry in shoulders and tails. The numerals follow the same chiseled rhythm, with thick–thin contrast and tapered ends that sharpen the silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its dramatic contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, titles, book covers, posters, and branded packaging. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and comfortable leading, but its animated shapes are most effective when allowed to stand out.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, mixing a formal, ceremonial presence with a touch of whimsy. Its flared endings and calligraphic contrast suggest hand-crafted lettering, giving text a theatrical, slightly folkloric character rather than a strictly classical one.
The design appears intended to evoke crafted, historical lettering with a contemporary display polish—prioritizing personality, texture, and silhouette over neutrality. Its combination of sharp tapers and swelling stems aims to deliver strong presence and a distinctive voice for expressive typographic work.
The face shows a strong dark color on the page, but maintains clarity through open counters and crisp tapers. Terminals frequently finish in pointed wedges, and several glyphs feature distinctive inward curves and angled joins that create a gently uneven, human cadence across words.
