A high-contrast serif with distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals and sharply cut joins that give the letterforms a carved, sculptural feel. Strokes swell and taper noticeably, with thick verticals and finer hairline-like connections, producing lively internal whitespace and a slightly restless texture in text. Serifs read more as triangular flares than bracketed slabs, and many characters show angled feet and beak-like details that emphasize direction and motion. Proportions are sturdy and somewhat condensed in places, with round forms kept taut and upright for a firm, graphic presence.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, posters, and brand marks where strong contrast and distinctive terminals can carry personality. It works especially well at display sizes for titles, pull quotes, and cover lines where the crisp flares and carved details remain clear.
The overall tone is dramatic and assertive, balancing classical reference with a stylized, almost theatrical edge. Its sharp flares and strong contrast create an elegant but attention-seeking voice suited to statement typography rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction through exaggerated flared terminals and energetic contrast, creating a distinctive display face that feels both classical and stylized. Its shapes prioritize impact and character, aiming for a refined yet bold editorial presence.
In running text the strong modulation and pointed terminals create pronounced rhythm and sparkle, especially at larger sizes. Numerals match the same flared, high-contrast construction, helping headings and display copy feel cohesive across letters and figures.
