A high-contrast serif with sharply flared, wedge-like serifs and strongly sculpted terminals. Strokes narrow quickly into pointed joins and tapered ends, producing a crisp, chiseled rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are slightly pinched and oval counters feel stylized rather than purely geometric, while diagonals and arms often finish in thin, blade-like tips. The overall texture is lively and uneven in a deliberate way, with distinctive silhouettes that emphasize character over neutrality.
Best suited to display typography where its sharp contrast and distinctive wedges can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or album covers, and branded titles. It can also add personality to short editorial callouts or packaging, but will feel busy in long passages at small sizes.
The tone is dramatic and slightly mischievous, pairing classic serif formality with a decorative, storybook edge. It reads as theatrical and vintage-leaning, with enough bite in the terminals to feel expressive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through a more ornamental, calligraphy-informed lens, prioritizing striking silhouettes and lively stroke endings. Its consistent use of flared serifs and pointed terminals suggests a deliberate aim for memorable, high-impact display text.
Capitals have especially iconic shapes with pronounced flaring at the baseline and cap line, and several glyphs show intentional asymmetry or exaggerated spur-like details. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same sharp, tapered finishing, keeping the set visually cohesive in display settings.
