A high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like serif forms. The letterforms show crisp hairlines, swelling main strokes, and pointed terminal notches that create star-like joins and corners, giving the shapes a sculpted, engraved feel. Proportions lean tall with compact lowercase, and the spacing and rhythm feel lively due to the strongly shaped serifs and varied internal counters.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, book jackets, and brand marks where its flared detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a more decorative, classical voice is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and ceremonial, with a slightly gothic, storybook edge. Its pointed detailing and flared endings lend an expressive, theatrical presence that reads as elegant but intentionally attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with expressive, flared finishing, emphasizing sharp terminals and contrast to create a distinctive, ornamented texture. It prioritizes character and visual presence over neutrality, aiming for memorable typographic color in display use.
In text, the distinctive terminal shaping remains visible and gives words a textured sparkle, especially around diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and curved joins (C, G, S). Numerals follow the same high-contrast, pointed logic and feel display-oriented rather than purely utilitarian.
