A sculpted serif with sharply flared stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs read as wedge-like and pointed, often merging into the stroke with a swelling, brush-to-chisel feel rather than a rigid bracket. Curves are taut and high-contrast, with narrow joins and crisp beak-like terminals on several letters. Proportions feel compact and sturdy in lowercase, while capitals are stately and slightly narrower, giving the overall texture a rhythmic, punchy cadence in words.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where its high-contrast, flared detailing can read clearly. It can add personality to branding and packaging, especially in premium or style-driven contexts, and works well when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is theatrical and fashion-forward: refined enough to feel classic, yet edgy due to the sharpened terminals and tension in the curves. It suggests high-end editorial styling with a hint of vintage poster drama.
The design appears intended to fuse a traditional serif foundation with expressive, flared finishing to create a strong display voice. Its sharpened terminals and controlled proportions aim for impact and elegance rather than neutrality, emphasizing character and editorial presence.
In running text the font creates a lively, flickering pattern from the strong modulation and frequent pointed terminals, which can feel energetic at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly stylized, with distinctive wedge accents that match the letterforms and reinforce a cohesive, carved look.
