A sculpted serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and sharp wedge-like serifs that feel cut rather than bracketed. The design leans on strong thick–thin modulation, pairing hefty verticals with hairline joins and tapered cross-strokes. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, with pointed ear-like details and occasional teardrop/ball terminals (notably in diagonals and some lowercase forms). Spacing and widths are irregular by design, creating a lively, display-oriented rhythm; bowls are full, counters are compact, and joins often pinch to fine points for extra sparkle.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, deck copy, posters, and brand marks where the sharp contrasts and flared terminals can resolve cleanly. It can also work for premium packaging and editorial titling, especially when a classic-but-expressive serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is high-drama and editorial, combining vintage bookishness with a showy, poster-ready swagger. It reads as confident and slightly decadent—suited to statements where the letterforms are meant to be seen as shapes, not just carriers of text.
Likely designed to merge traditional serif structure with a more flamboyant, flared display personality—using extreme modulation, tapered joins, and decorative terminals to create a distinctive, high-impact texture in short texts.
Uppercase forms emphasize broad silhouettes and strong tapering, while the lowercase introduces more flamboyant terminals and a bouncy cadence that becomes more apparent in words and pangrams. Numerals carry the same flared, sculptural treatment, with curvy figures and crisp, knife-like joins that keep the texture energetic at large sizes.
