A high-contrast display serif with strongly flared, wedge-like terminals and sculpted curves. Strokes swell and taper with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm, producing sharp points, deep notches, and teardrop-like joins that read as an ink-trap feel at larger sizes. The proportions are expansive and headline-oriented, with round characters built from broad bowls and tight apertures, while diagonals and joins (notably in K, R, W, and y) create crisp, faceted intersections. Numerals and lowercase echo the same swelling-and-tapering logic, giving the set a cohesive, carved silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its sculpted contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—large headlines, posters, title sequences, and brand marks. It can also work for book covers and packaging that aim for a bold, editorial or vintage-inflected voice, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is dramatic and slightly theatrical, balancing classic serif formality with playful, high-impact shapes. It evokes a vintage editorial or poster sensibility, with a confident, luxurious presence that feels designed to be noticed rather than to disappear into body text.
The design intent appears to be a statement display serif that merges traditional serif cues with exaggerated swelling, tapering, and flared endings to create a distinctive, high-impact texture. It prioritizes character and silhouette for memorable titles and branding over neutral, continuous reading.
Counters tend to be compact relative to the heavy outer strokes, and many letters show pronounced internal scoops and sharp inner corners that add sparkle and texture. Round forms (o, e, c, 8) appear especially weighty, while pointed terminals and flared ends create lively rhythm across words.
