A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals and sharply tapered joins that widen into flared, wedge-like stroke endings. Serifs are short and bracketed, often forming pointed beaks and scooped terminals that give strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Rounds and bowls are sculpted with distinctive teardrop and eye-shaped counters, and the overall color is dark and punchy with lively thick–thin modulation. Proportions show noticeable per-glyph width variation, with compact letters alongside broader forms, creating an animated rhythm across words.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, poster titles, branding, and packaging where its flared terminals and sculpted counters can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or chapter openers, especially in themes that benefit from a vintage or theatrical voice.
The face reads as vintage and theatrical, mixing old-style elegance with playful, slightly eccentric detailing. Its sharp beaks, flared terminals, and eye-like counters add a whimsical, storybook tone that feels ornamental without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif structure with flared, wedge-like endings and expressive interior shaping, prioritizing character and rhythm over neutrality. Its consistent thick–thin contrast and ornamental counters suggest a display-oriented serif meant to feel crafted and distinctive.
Caps are especially display-forward, with emphatic diagonal cuts and dramatic internal shapes (notably in C, G, O/Q, and S). The lowercase maintains the same sculpted logic, with a single-storey a and g and a distinctive curled, looped k. Figures are bold and stylized, suited to attention-grabbing settings rather than small, continuous text.
