This typeface presents a high-contrast serif construction with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced flare at terminals, creating a carved, blade-like silhouette. Serifs read as triangular wedges rather than bracketed feet, and many joins pinch into narrow waists before swelling into broader curves. Capitals are compact and slightly condensed, with assertive diagonals and pointed apexes (notably in A, V, W, and X), while round letters (O, C, G) show tight inner counters and crisp, faceted transitions. Lowercase maintains a traditional, two-storey a with a distinctive narrow necking and energetic, angled finishing strokes; overall spacing and rhythm feel tight but controlled, emphasizing verticality and sharp edges.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book jackets, and identity work where its sculpted contrast and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It can add a distinctive voice to editorial titles, cultural/event materials, and packaging that aims for a dramatic or vintage-leaning impression. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes or with generous leading.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly eccentric: formal at a distance, yet full of quirky, expressive cuts up close. Its sharp tapers and wedge terminals evoke a theatrical, poster-like presence with a touch of vintage storybook flair. The contrast and pointed detailing add intensity and a sense of crafted ornament without becoming overtly ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions through a more decorative, cut-and-flare approach—prioritizing silhouette and personality over neutrality. Its sharp terminals and tapered joins suggest a focus on expressive display typography that still retains familiar serif letter skeletons for recognizability.
In text, the strong contrast and narrow joins create a lively sparkle, with particularly distinctive shapes in the uppercase W and the numerals (notably 2 and 3), which lean into sculpted, calligraphic curves. The design’s sharp terminals and tight counters give it a striking profile that benefits from adequate size and breathing room, especially in longer lines.
