A heavy, right-leaning display serif with pronounced contrast and wedge-like, flared terminals that read as sculpted rather than mechanically serifed. Curves are taut and bulbous with sharp, ink-trap-like cut-ins and pointed joins that create lively negative shapes. Counters tend toward teardrop and oval forms, while many letters show asymmetrical weighting and tapered entry/exit strokes. The rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, with wide capitals, compact lowercase, and distinctive swash-like details on several glyphs and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, cover lines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where its sculptural terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for pull quotes or section openers, but benefits from generous sizing and careful tracking to preserve its distinctive internal shapes.
The tone is flamboyant and high-drama, combining editorial elegance with a slightly mischievous, vintage poster sensibility. Its sharp cut-ins and sweeping terminals add a sense of motion and theatricality, giving text a bold, couture-like presence.
The design appears intended to deliver an attention-grabbing, fashion-forward serif with calligraphic flair—merging classic serif structure with exaggerated flares and sharp internal carving to create a memorable, display-first voice.
In text, the strong slant and high contrast can create dense dark bands, especially where sharp interior cutouts repeat across adjacent letters. Spacing appears intended for display settings, with letterforms designed to lock together into a cohesive, punchy texture rather than a quiet reading rhythm.
