A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and strongly tapered joins that create a chiseled, inked-in look. Stems feel weighty while curves and hairlines snap into narrow connections, producing a lively black-and-white rhythm across words. Serifs are not rigidly bracketed; instead they often widen into wedge-like, cupped endings that read as decorative terminals. The proportions show noticeable glyph-to-glyph width variety, with rounded letters (O, Q) feeling generous and some forms (E, F, T) compact and stout, reinforcing an irregular, display-forward texture.
Best suited for display settings where its contrast and distinctive terminal shaping can be appreciated—headlines, posters, magazine nameplates, book covers, and brand marks. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the strong modulation and decorative construction make it less ideal for long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage headline typography and expressive print traditions. Its dramatic contrast and stylized terminals give it an assertive, slightly whimsical personality suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears aimed at creating a recognizable, high-impact serif with a handcrafted, sculptural flavor—combining classical serif proportions with exaggerated contrast and flared, decorative terminals to deliver an editorial, statement-making voice.
Round letters feature pinched transitions and broad, dark bowls, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) carry sharp, blade-like movement with flared ends. Numerals are equally stylized, with pronounced curves and distinctive terminal shaping that matches the letterforms, helping the set feel cohesive in titling and short phrases.
