A striking display serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced contrast between thick and thin parts of the letterforms. Stems often swell or taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals, creating a chiseled, ornamental rhythm across words. The design mixes sturdy verticals with energetic curves, and several letters show distinctive, slightly asymmetric carving (notably in bowls and diagonals), giving the face a lively, hand-shaped feel. Counters are generally compact in the heavier letters, while spacing feels open enough for headlines, with a noticeably dynamic, non-uniform texture from glyph to glyph.
Best suited for large sizes where its flared terminals and sculpted contrast can be appreciated—posters, editorial headlines, book or album covers, and branding marks that want a dramatic serif voice. It can also work for short, punchy subheads or pull quotes, but its dense, ornamental forms are less suited to extended small-size reading.
The tone is bold and performative—part vintage poster, part storybook drama. Its sharp flares and high-contrast modeling evoke a sense of spectacle and ceremony, leaning toward classic, slightly gothic-tinged display traditions rather than quiet editorial neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly recognizable, display-forward serif with flared, chiseled endings and a classic showcard sensibility. Its goal is impact and character first, using exaggerated modeling and distinctive terminals to create a memorable silhouette.
Uppercase forms read as monumental and emblematic, while the lowercase introduces more quirky, idiosyncratic shapes that add personality in text. Numerals match the same carved, tapered logic, with strong silhouettes suited to attention-grabbing settings.
