A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sharply flared, wedge-like serifs that often behave more like carved terminals than traditional brackets. The shapes combine broad, rounded bowls with crisp, pointed joins, creating a distinctly sculpted silhouette. Letterforms show lively, slightly calligraphic modulation, with narrow interior apertures in some glyphs and emphatic stroke endings that add bite. Proportions feel display-oriented: capitals are sturdy and dramatic, while lowercase forms retain clear structure with compact counters and assertive terminals.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where its flared terminals and contrast can read cleanly and add personality. It can work well for book covers, editorial titles, packaging, and branding that aims for a classic-yet-decorative serif impression. For longer passages, it will generally perform better at larger text sizes due to its sharp details and strong stroke modulation.
The overall tone is vintage and theatrical, suggesting classic book typography filtered through a more decorative, poster-ready lens. Its sharp flares and rhythmic contrast give it a spirited, slightly whimsical presence that reads as expressive rather than purely utilitarian. The font conveys a sense of craft and drama, suited to attention-grabbing text that still wants a traditional serif voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with added visual drama through exaggerated flares and pointed terminals. It emphasizes distinctive silhouettes and rhythmic contrast to create a memorable, decorative voice for display typography.
The numerals and capitals appear especially weighty and graphic, with several characters showing distinctive, pointed serif tips that create strong word-shape texture. In continuous text, the strong contrast and energetic terminals produce a lively color that favors larger sizes where the details can breathe.
