A high-contrast serif with strongly flared terminals that swell into wedge-like, tapering stroke endings. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp apexes and pointed joins, giving stems and diagonals a carved, blade-like feel. Serifs are not bracketed slabs; instead they read as dynamic flares and cut-ins, producing a lively silhouette and uneven internal rhythm across glyphs. Counters are generally rounded but tightened by the heavy verticals, and several characters feature distinctive triangular notches and angled terminals that emphasize direction and movement.
Best used for headlines, posters, and titling where its sharp contrast and flared endings can read at size. It works well for magazine mastheads, book covers, and branding moments that call for an editorial, high-impact voice rather than extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, balancing refined contrast with a slightly eccentric, display-first personality. It evokes classic editorial and poster typography—confident, dramatic, and a bit flamboyant—more suited to statement setting than quiet utility.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that merges classic high-contrast construction with flared, calligraphic stroke endings to create a distinctive display texture. Its goal is to deliver strong presence and memorable lettershapes in short bursts of text.
In text, the strong modulation and angular flares create a bold texture with noticeable sparkle and sharp punctuation-like moments at stroke ends. The uppercase feels monumental and decorative, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curves and terminals) that amplify the font’s expressive cadence.
