A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems feel slightly calligraphic, with wedge-like serifs and softened bracket transitions that give the letters a carved, inked quality rather than a mechanical one. Capitals are broad and stately with sharp apexes and strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase shows lively shapes and occasional swash-like details (notably in the italicized-feeling curves and the angled joins). Numerals are robust and display-oriented, matching the same energetic contrast and tapered endings.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, posters, and book or magazine titling where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for distinctive branding and packaging, especially when a classic-yet-dramatic voice is desired; for longer text, it will perform more comfortably at generous sizes and spacing.
The overall tone is theatrical and editorial: confident, slightly vintage, and expressive without becoming informal. Its sharp contrasts and flared endings suggest refinement and drama, lending a sense of prestige and storytelling to headlines and short passages.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings to create a display-forward face that feels both classic and attention-grabbing. The intent appears to be strong personality and visual impact while retaining readable, familiar letterforms.
Rhythm is driven by strong verticals and narrow hairlines, creating a crisp black-and-white texture at larger sizes. Curved letters (C, G, S, O) show carefully tapered stroke endings, and the punctuation and dots read as bold, graphic points that reinforce the font’s punchy presence.
