A wide, high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and prominent wedge-like, flared serifs that often end in sharp points. Curves are smooth and open, while many joins and terminals have an incised, calligraphic bite that creates a slightly spiky silhouette. The rhythm is spacious and horizontal, with generous letterfit and broad proportions, giving lines a sweeping, airy texture even at larger sizes. Figures follow the same contrast pattern, with thin mid-strokes and stylized, tapering ends that keep the set feeling unified.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short editorial passages where the wide stance and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can support branding and packaging that wants a classic serif foundation with a more theatrical, distinctive edge, and works well on covers or display typography where spacing and contrast can breathe.
The overall tone is refined yet dramatic, with a faintly exotic or storybook flavor created by the pointed flares and sculpted terminals. It reads as formal and elegant, but not strictly reserved—there’s a playful sharpness that adds character and makes it feel suited to display settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional serif structure with dramatic flared serifs and incisive terminals, prioritizing elegance and character over neutrality. Its proportions and contrast suggest a focus on display-led typography that still retains recognizable, readable letterforms.
The font’s distinct terminal treatment is the primary voice: many strokes finish with narrow, blade-like points and small triangular wedges, producing a lively sparkle along the baseline and cap line. In text settings the wide proportions and high contrast make word shapes feel expansive, while the decorative serifs contribute a pronounced, stylized texture.
