A high-contrast serif with distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly calligraphic stroke modulation. Curves are broad and well-rounded while joins and terminals sharpen into triangular points, creating a crisp silhouette and energetic rhythm. Capitals feel sculpted and slightly monumental, with generous interior space in bowls and strong vertical emphasis; the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with pronounced teardrop-like counters and tapering exits that keep word shapes lively. Numerals follow the same flared logic, mixing sturdy stems with pointed finishing strokes for a cohesive text-and-display color.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and book or album titles where the flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and branding systems that want a classic serif voice with added personality and bite.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, combining classical serif authority with a slightly whimsical, storybook edge. The sharp wedge terminals add tension and drama, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable and readable in short passages.
Likely drawn to reinterpret traditional serif proportions through flared, wedge-like finishing strokes, adding drama and a hand-influenced feel without becoming overtly script-like. The intent appears to balance strong presence with legible, familiar letterforms for expressive publishing and identity work.
Spacing appears on the open side, helping the dense, high-contrast strokes avoid clogging in setting, though the pointed terminals and flares create an active texture that becomes visually dominant as size decreases. The design’s rhythm is driven by repeated triangular endings and swelling stems, giving lines of text a distinctive, slightly ornamental sparkle.
